GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
For vehicles sold in Canada, rotate the headlight switch
clockwise from the parking lights and instrument panel
light position to the first detent to turn on headlights,
parking lights, and instrument panel light. Rotate the
headlight switch to the second detent for the AUTO
position.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS)
— IF EQUIPPED
The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) are in a dedicated
position below the headlight assembly. DRLs are active
when the low beams are not on while the vehicle's
transmission is in any position (automatic transmis-
sion), or when the vehicle begins to move (manual
transmission).
NOTE:
•
For vehicles sold in Canada, the DRLs will automati-
cally deactivate when the front fog lights are turned
on.
•
On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights may
deactivate, or reduce intensity, on one side of the
vehicle (when a turn signal is activated on that
side), or on both sides of the vehicle (when the haz-
ard warning lights are activated).
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
The High/Low Beam switch is located within the multi-
function lever on the left side of the steering wheel.
High beam headlights can be used for improved visibil-
ity in low lit areas when there is no oncoming traffic.
Otherwise, it is recommended to use the low beam
headlights to reduce glare to other vehicles.
With the headlight switch activated, push the multifunc-
tion lever toward the instrument panel to switch the
headlights to high beams. The lever will return to the
centered position. To return the headlights to low beam,
pull the lever toward the steering wheel, or push the
lever toward the instrument panel.
Multifunction Lever
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
HEADLAMP CONTROL —
IF EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control system
provides increased forward lighting at night by auto-
matically controlling the high beams through the use of
a camera mounted on the vehicle's header. This cam-
era detects vehicle specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
•
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be
turned on or off by selecting "ON" under "Auto Dim
High Beams" within your Uconnect Settings
page 181, as well as turning the headlight
switch to the AUTO position and placing the multi-
function lever in the high beam position.
•
Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and tail-
lights of vehicles in the field of view will cause head-
lights to remain on longer (closer to the vehicle).
Also, dirt, film, and other obstructions on the wind-
shield or camera lens will cause the system to func-
tion improperly.
FLASH-TO-PASS
The Flash-To-Pass feature will illuminate the high beam
headlights temporarily to signal another vehicle of a
passing occurrence. Pull and hold the Multifunction
Lever to activate the Flash-To-Pass feature. When the
lever is released, the Flash-To-Pass feature will
deactivate.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS —
IF EQUIPPED
The Automatic Headlight System will turn the headlights
on or off according to ambient light levels. To turn the
system on, rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the
last detent for automatic headlight operation. When the
system is on, the headlight time delay feature is also
on. This means the headlights will stay on for up to
90 seconds (programmable through the Uconnect Set-
tings
page 181) after you place the ignition into the
OFF position. To turn the automatic system off, move
the headlight switch out of the AUTO position.
