Dodge Durango 2015, Operating Information Manual

Page: 99 / 738

NOTE:
The engine must be running before the
headlights will come on in the automatic
mode.
Headlights On Automatically With
Wipers
If your vehicle is equipped with Automatic Head-
lights, it also has this customer-programmable
feature. When your headlights are in the auto-
matic mode and the engine is running, they will
automatically turn on when the wiper system is
on. This feature is programmable through the
Uconnect®
system. Refer to “Uconnect®
Settings/Customer Programmable Features” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information.
NOTE:
When your headlights come on during the
daytime, the vehicle will monitor outside
brightness and decide if the instrument
panel needs to be dimmed or not. Refer to
“Lights” in this section for further informa-
tion.
Automatic High Beam — If Equipped
The automatic high beam system provides in-
creased forward lighting at night by automating
high beam control through the use of a digital
camera mounted on the inside rearview mirror.
This camera detects vehicle specific light and
automatically switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is out of
view.
NOTE:
•
If the windshield or automatic high beam
mirror is replaced, the automatic high
beam mirror must be re-aimed to ensure
proper performance. See your local au-
thorized dealer.
•
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 (sticker, toll
box, etc.) on the windshield or camera
lens will cause the system to function
improperly.
•
To opt out of the Advanced Auto High-
Beam Sensitivity Control (default) and en-
ter Reduced High-Beam Sensitivity Con-
trol (not recommended), toggle highbeam
lever 6 full on/off cycles within 10 sec-
onds of ignition ON. System will return to
default setting upon ignition off.
To Activate
1. Enable the Automatic High Beams through
the Uconnect® system screen. Refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
2. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO head-
light position.
3. 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 20 mph (32 km/h).
