DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS
(DRLS) — IF EQUIPPED
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 ON/RUN position, or the parking brake is
engaged. The headlight switch must be used for normal
nighttime driving.
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 Uconnect system
page 170.
•
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 haz-
ard warning lights are activated).
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument
panel to switch the headlights to high beams. Pulling
the multifunction lever back toward the steering wheel
will turn the low beams back on, or shut the high
beams off.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS —
IF EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlight 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 Headlight system can be
turned on or off by selecting or deselecting “Auto
High Beam” within Uconnect Settings
page 170.
•
The headlight switch must also be turned to the
AUTO position after Automatic High Beams is
enabled within Uconnect Settings for the feature to
activate.
•
Automatic High Beams will only activate when the
vehicle speed is above 22 mph (35 km/h).
•
Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and tail-
lights of vehicles in the field of view will cause head-
lights to remain on longer (closer to the vehicle).
Also, dirt, film, and other obstructions on the wind-
shield or camera lens will cause the system to func-
tion improperly.
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Headlight
Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed
to ensure proper performance. See a local authorized
dealer.
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
This system automatically turns the headlights on or off
according to ambient light levels. To turn the system on,
rotate the headlight switch counterclockwise to the
AUTO position. When the system is on, the headlight
time delay feature is also on. This means the headlights
will stay on for up to 90 seconds after you place the
ignition into the OFF position. The headlight time delay
can be programmed 0/30/60/90 seconds
page 170.
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.
PARKING LIGHTS AND PANEL
LIGHTS
To turn on the parking lights and instrument panel
lights, leave the headlight switch in the first position.
Rotate the headlight switch to the AUTO position to turn
off the parking lights.
HEADLIGHTS ON AUTOMATICALLY
WITH WIPERS
If your vehicle is equipped with Automatic Headlights, it
also has this customer-programmable feature. When
your headlights are in the automatic mode and the
engine is running, they will automatically turn on when
the wiper system is on. This feature is programmable
through the Uconnect system
page 170.
