56 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel
to switch the headlights to high beams. Pulling the
multifunction lever back will turn the low beams on.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM — IF EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam system provides increased
forward lighting at night by automatically controlling the
high beams through the use of a camera mounted on the
windshield. This camera detects vehicle specific light and
automatically switches from high beams to low beams
until the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
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
obstructions on the windshield or camera lens will cause
the system to function improperly.
To Activate
1. Select “Auto Dim High Beams” through the
Uconnect system to enable the feature
Ú
page 157.
2. Rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the AUTO
position.
3. Push the multifunction lever away from you to switch
the headlights to the high beam position. Refer to
“Multifunction Lever” in this section for further
information.
NOTE:
This system will not activate until the vehicle is at, or
above 16 mph (25 km/h).
To Deactivate
Perform either of the following steps to deactivate the
Automatic High Beam system.
1. Deselect “Auto Dim High Beams” through the
Uconnect system

page 157.
2. Pull the multifunction lever toward you to switch the
headlights from the high beam to the low beam
position.
3. Rotate the headlight switch counterclockwise from
the AUTO to the on position.
NOTE:
Once active, the Automatic High Beam system will stop
functioning below 12 mph (20 km/h).
FLASH-TO-PASS
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
lightly pulling the multifunction lever toward you. This will
cause the high beam headlights to turn on, and remain on,
until the lever is released.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
This system automatically turns your headlights on or off
based on ambient light levels. To turn the system on, turn
the headlight switch to the extreme clockwise position
aligning the indicator with the AUTO on the headlight
switch. When the system is on, the Headlight Time Delay
feature is also on. This means your headlights will stay on
for up to 90 seconds after the ignition is placed in 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 headlights will
come on in the Automatic mode.
HEADLIGHTS ON WITH WIPERS —
I
F EQUIPPED
When your headlights are in the AUTO mode and the
engine is running, the headlights will automatically turn on
when the wiper system is also turned on. Headlights on
when windshield wipers are on may be found on vehicles
equipped with an automatic headlight system.
NOTE:
The Headlights with Wipers feature can be turned on or off
through the Uconnect system
Ú page 157.
HEADLIGHT TIME DELAY — IF EQUIPPED
This feature provides the safety of headlight illumination
for up to 90 seconds after exiting your vehicle.
To activate the delay feature, place the ignition in the OFF
position while the headlights are still on. The 90 second
delay interval begins when headlight switch is turned off.
If the headlights or parking lights are turned back on or the
ignition is placed in the ON position, the delay will be
cancelled.
When exiting the vehicle the driver can choose to have the
headlights remain on for 30, 60, or 90 seconds or not
remain on. You can change the timer setting through the
Uconnect system
