LIGHTING OPERATION

HEADLIGHT SWITCH

The headlight switch is located on the left side of
the instrument panel. This switch controls the
operation of the headlights, parking lights, auto-
matic headlights (if equipped), instrument panel
light dimming, cargo light/trailer spotter lights
(if equipped), and fog lights (if equipped).
For TRX Models: The headlight switch also con-
trols the clearance lamps and the front and rear
identification lamps. The clearance lamps and the
front and rear identification lamps will turn on
when the switch is in the On, AUTO, or parking
lights position. These lamps are activated to
allow other drivers to spot and identify the
vehicle.
Headlight Switch
1 — Rotate Headlight Control
2 — Push Front Fog Light Switch
3 — Ambient Light Dimmer Control
4 — Instrument Panel Dimmer Control
5 — Push Cargo Light Switch
To turn on the headlights, rotate the headlight
switch clockwise. When the headlight switch is
on, the parking lights, taillights, license plate light
and instrument panel lights are also turned on.
To turn off the headlights, rotate the headlight
switch back to the O (off) position.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS

Did you know your vehicle can automatically
switch from high beams to low beams until an
approaching vehicle is out of view?
To turn on this feature:
1. Within the Uconnect system, set "Auto Dim
High Beams" to "ON".
2. Place the headlight switch in the AUTO
position.

AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS

With the engine running, make sure your head-
light control knob is in the AUTO position; your
vehicle will detect how bright it is outside and
turn the headlights on/off as necessary.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WITH
WIPERS
You can have your automatic headlights auto-
matically turn on when the wiper system is on,
provided that your headlights are in AUTO mode
and the engine is running. You can turn this fea-
ture on/off in the Uconnect Settings.
If you have Rain Sensing Wipers, and they are on,
the headlights will automatically turn on after the
wipers complete five wipe cycles within approxi-
mately one minute.
