GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Daytime Running Lights (DRL) — If Equipped
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 turned OFF. The lights illuminate
at less than half of normal intensity. If the
parking brake is applied, the Daytime Running
Lights (DRL) 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 Once the turn signal is no
longer active, the DRL lamp will illuminate.
NOTE:
If allowed by law in the country in which the
vehicle was purchased, the Daytime Running
Lights can be turned on and off using the Ucon
-
nect System, refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever toward the
instrument panel to switch the headlights to
high beam. Pulling the multifunction lever back
toward the steering wheel will turn the low
beams back on, or shut the high beams off.
Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control —
If Equipped
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.
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.
To Activate
1. The Automatic High Beams are enabled
through the Uconnect system. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information.
2. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO
headlight position.
3. Push the multifunction lever away from you
(toward front of vehicle) to engage the high
beam mode.
NOTE:
The Automatic High Beams will not activate until
the vehicle is at or above 12 mph (20 km/h).
