Automatic High Beam Headlamp
Control — If Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
system provides increased forward lighting at
night by automating high beam control through
the use of a digital camera mounted on the
windshield. This camera 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 Con-
trol can be turned on or off using the
Uconnect® System. Refer to “Uconnect®
Settings” in “Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information.
•
Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights
and taillights of vehicles in the field of
view will cause headlights to remain on
longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt,
film, and other obstructions on the wind-
shield or camera lens will cause the sys-
tem to function improperly.
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Head-
lamp Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must
be re-aimed to ensure proper performance. See
your local authorized dealer.
To Activate
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO head-
light position.
2. Push the multifunction lever away from you
(toward front of vehicle) to engage the high
beam mode.
NOTE:
This system will not activate until the ve-
hicle is at or above 15 mph (24 km/h).
To Deactivate
1. Pull the multifunction lever toward you (or
rearward in car) to manually deactivate the
system (normal operation of low beams).
2. Push back on the multifunction lever to re-
activate the system.
Headlight Time Delay
This feature provides the safety of headlight
illumination for up to 90 seconds when leaving
your vehicle in an unlit area.
To activate the delay feature, turn OFF the
ignition switch while the headlights are still on.
Then, turn off the headlights within 45 seconds.
The delay interval begins when the headlight
switch is turned off.
NOTE:
The lights must be turned off within 45
seconds of turning the ignition OFF to acti-
vate this feature.
If you turn the headlights, park lights or ignition
switch ON again, the system will cancel the
delay.
If you turn the headlights off before the ignition,
they will turn off in the normal manner.
NOTE:
The Headlight Time Delay is programmable
using the Uconnect® System, refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
