Flashing The Headlights
Pulling the multifunction lever toward the
steering wheel will activate the high beam
headlights manually. The lights will remain on
as long as the lever is held. Once the lever is
released, the lights will resume the previous
setting.
Automatic High Beam Headlights — If
Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlights system
provides increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control through the use
of a digital camera mounted on the wind
-
shield. This camera detects vehicle specific
light and automatically turns from high beams
to low beams until the approaching vehicle is
out of view.
This function can be enabled in the radio
system by selecting “Settings”, “Lights”, and
then turning “Automatic High Beam” to ON. It
is then activated by rotating the headlight
switch to the (auto) position and pushing
the multifunction lever toward the instrument
panel.
While the high beam headlights are on, the
blue icon/indicator light will illuminate in
the instrument panel.
NOTE:
The “On” selection within the radio system is
saved if the ignition is placed in the OFF posi
-
tion, and then back into ON.
When the speed is higher than 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the function is active, the lights
will turn off if the multifunction lever is pushed
again.
When the speed is lower than 15 mph
(25 km/h) and the function is active, the
feature will turn the high beam headlights off.
If the high beam headlights are operated
again (pushing the multifunction lever towards
the instrument panel), the indicator light/icon
will illuminate in the instrument panel, and
the main beam headlights only will be on until
the speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) is
exceeded again, the automatic functioning is
reactivated.
If the multifunction lever is pushed again with
the Automatic High Beam Headlights acti
-
vated, the function deactivates.
This feature can also be deactivated by
rotating the headlight switch to the posi
-
tion.
NOTE:
If the system recognizes heavy traffic areas,
the automatic functions remain disabled
independently of the vehicle’s speed.
The Automatic High Beam functionality may
also be influenced by:
•
Reflections on road signs
•
Dim headlights from oncoming traffic
•
Poor weather conditions
•
Presence of dirt or other obstructions on
the sensor
•
Damage to the windshield
Turn Signals
To activate the turn signals, move the multi
-
function lever, located on the left side of the
steering wheel, up or down until it reaches the
detent. Moving the lever upward flashes the
right turn signal and moving the lever down
-
ward will flash the left turn signal.
The or turn signal will blink on the instru
-
ment panel.
The turn signals turn off automatically when
the vehicle is brought back onto a straight
course.
“Lane Change” Function
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving
beyond the detent, and the turn signal (right or
left) will flash five times. Then, the turn signal
(right or left) will automatically turn off.
To turn off the flashing before the end of the
cycle, move the lever in the opposite direction
until the first click (about half way).
