Headlights On Automatically With Wipers; Smartbeam™ — If Equipped; Automatic Headlights — If Equipped - Jeep 2011 WK2 Grand Cherokee Owner's Manual

Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass
and therefore different lens cleaning pro-
cedures must be followed.
• To minimize the possibility of scratching
the lenses and reducing light output,
avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To remove
road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution
followed by rinsing.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive cleaning components,
solvents, steel wool or other abrasive materi-
als to clean the lenses.
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
to the A (AUTO) position.
When the system is on, the Headlight Delay
feature is also on. This means the headlights
will stay on for up to 90 seconds after you turn
the ignition switch to the OFF position. To turn
the automatic headlights off, turn the headlight
switch out of the AUTO position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the
headlights will turn on in the Automatic
Mode.
Headlights On Automatically With
Wipers
If your vehicle is equipped with Automatic
Headlights, it also has
programmable feature. When your headlights
are in the automatic mode and the engine is
running, they will automatically turn on when
the wiper system is on. Refer to "Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Customer-
Programmable Features" in "Understanding
Your Instrument Panel" for further information.
If your vehicle is equipped with a "Rain Sensi-
tive Wiper System" and it is activated, the
headlights will automatically turn on after the
wipers complete five wipe cycles within ap-
proximately one minute, and they will turn off
approximately four minutes after the wipers
completely stop. Refer to "Windshield Wipers
and Washers" in this section for further informa-
tion.
NOTE:
When your headlights come on during the
daytime, the instrument panel lights will
automatically dim to the lower nighttime
intensity. Refer to "Lights" in this section for
further information.
SmartBeam™ — If Equipped
The SmartBeam™ system provides increased
this customer-
forward lighting at night by automating high
beam control through the use of a digital cam-
era mounted on the inside rearview mirror. This
camera detects vehicle specific light and auto-
matically switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is out of
view.
NOTE:
If the windshield or SmartBeam™ mirror is
replaced, the SmartBeam™ mirror must be
re-aimed to ensure proper performance. See
your local authorized dealer.
