46 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
To turn on the headlights, rotate the headlight switch
clockwise to the headlight position. When the
headlight switch is on, the parking lights, taillights,
license plate light and instrument panel lights are
also turned on. To turn off the headlights, rotate the
headlight switch back to the O (off) position.
For vehicles sold in Canada, rotate the headlight
switch clockwise from the AUTO position to the first
detent for parking lights and instrument panel
lights. Rotate to the second detent to turn on
headlights, parking lights, and instrument panel
lights.
NOTE:

Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlight
and fog light (if equipped) lenses that are lighter
and less susceptible to stone breakage than
glass lights. Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens cleaning
procedures 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.

The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) come on
whenever the engine is running, and the low
beams are not on. The lights will remain on until
the ignition is placed in the OFF or ACC position, or
the parking brake is engaged.
NOTE:

For vehicles sold in Canada, the DRLs will auto -
matically deactivate when the front fog lights
are turned on.

If allowed by law in the country in which the
vehicle was purchased, the DRLs can be turned
on and off using the Uconnect system
Ú
page 149.

On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights
may deactivate or reduce intensity on one side
of the vehicle (when a turn signal is activated on
that side), or on both sides of the vehicle (when
the hazard warning lights are activated).

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
Ú
page 149, as well as turning the
headlight switch to the AUTO position.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive cleaning components,
solvents, steel wool or other abrasive materials
to clean the lenses.
