GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
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.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with illuminated
approach lights under the outside mirrors they can
be turned off through the instrument cluster
display or the Uconnect radio. For further infor
-
mation refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” and
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”.

The headlights on your vehicle will illuminate when
the engine is started and the transmission is in any
gear except PARK. This provides a constant "lights
on" condition until the ignition is placed in the OFF
position. The lights illuminate at less than half of
normal intensity. If the parking brake is applied,
the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will turn off.
Also, if a turn signal is activated, the DRL lamp on
the same side of the vehicle may turn off for the
duration of the turn signal activation. Once the turn
signal is no longer active, the DRL lamp will
illuminate.

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 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:
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can
be turned on or off by selecting “ON” under “Auto
Dim High Beams” within your Uconnect settings,
as well as turning the headlight switch to the
AUTO position. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” 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 obstruc
-
tions on the windshield or camera lens will
cause the system to function improperly.
To opt out of the Advanced Automatic High
Beam Sensitivity Control (default) and enter
Reduced High Beam Sensitivity Control (not
recommended), toggle the high beam lever six
full on/off cycles within 10 seconds of placing
the ignition in the ON position. The system will
return to the default setting when the ignition is
placed in the OFF position.
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam
Headlamp Control mirror is replaced, the mirror
must be re-aimed to ensure proper performance.
See a local authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive cleaning components,
solvents, steel wool or other abrasive materials
to clean the lenses.
