• Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and
taillights of vehicles in the field of view will
cause headlights to remain on longer (closer

obstructions on the windshield or camera
lens will cause the system to function
improperly.

Flash-To-Pass

You can signal another vehicle with your head-
lights by lightly pulling the multifunction lever
toward you. This will cause the high beam
headlights to turn on, and remain on, until the
lever is released.
Automatic Headlights — If Equipped
This system automatically turns the headlights
on or off according to ambient light levels. To
turn the system on, rotate the headlight switch
clockwise to the last detent (AUTO position) for
automatic headlight operation. When the sys-
tem is on, the headlight time delay feature is
also on. This means the headlights will stay on
for up to 90 seconds after you place the ignition
into the OFF position. To turn the automatic
system off, move the headlight switch out of the
AUTO position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the head-
lights will come on in the automatic mode.

Parking Lights

To operate the parking lights, the ignition must
be in the OFF position. Turn the headlight switch
to the "P" position. Then move the multifunction
lever up or down to turn on the left or right side
parking lights.

(Available With Automatic
Headlights Only)
When this feature is active, the headlights will

headlight switch is placed in the AUTO position

The Headlights On with Wipers feature can be
turned on or off using the Uconnect System.

area.
To activate the delay feature, place the ignition
in the OFF position while the headlights are still

activated if the customer leaves the headlight
switch in the AUTO position while the ignition is

If you turn the headlights off before the ignition,
they will turn off in the normal manner.
