Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your
headlights by lightly pulling the multifunc-
tion lever toward you. This will cause the
headlights to turn on at high beam and re-
main on until the lever is released.
Automatic Headlights — If Equipped
This system automatically turns the head-
lights 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 after you place the
ignition into the OFF position. To turn the
automatic system off, move the headlight
switch out of the AUTO position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the head-
lights will come on in the automatic mode.
Headlight Time Delay
This feature provides the safety of headlight
illumination for up to 90 seconds (program-
mable) when leaving your vehicle in an unlit
area.
To activate the delay feature, place the igni-
tion in the OFF position 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.
If you turn the headlights or parking lights on,
or place the ignition in ACC or RUN, 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 lights must be turned off within
45 seconds of placing the ignition in the
OFF position to activate this feature. If the
headlight switch is in the AUTO position
prior to turning the ignition OFF, there is
no need to turn the headlight switch to off
to activate Headlight Delay.
• The headlight delay time is programmable
using the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in
the
Owner’s Manual on
www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals for fur-
ther details.
Fog Lights — If Equipped
The front fog light switch is built into the
headlight switch.
To activate the front fog lights, turn on the
parking lights or the low beam headlights and
push the headlight switch. To turn off the
front fog lights, either push the headlight
switch a second time or turn off the headlight
switch.
An indicator light in the instrument cluster
illuminates when the fog lights are turned on.
NOTE:
The fog lights will operate with the low beam
headlights or parking lights on. However, se-
lecting the high beam headlights will turn off
the fog lights.
