HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION ON
APPROACH
When enabled, the headlights, exterior door handle
pocket lights (if equipped), and interior lights will illumi-
nate when the unlock button on the key fob is pushed
as the operator is approaching the vehicle. This feature
can be turned on/off, and the length of time the head-
lights stay on can be programmed for up to 90 seconds
within Uconnect Settings
page 170.
Proximity Wake-Up — If Equipped
This feature is enabled/disabled within the Uconnect
system, and is activated when the operator approaches
the driver’s door, passenger’s door, or liftgate with a
valid key fob on their person. Some exterior and interior
lights will illuminate in order to provide an increased
sense of welcome and security as the operator
approaches the vehicle in the dark. “Headlight Illumina-
tion On Approach” must be selected and set to a time
value other than zero within Uconnect Settings for Prox-
imity Wake-Up to activate.
The doors may be locked or unlocked for this feature to
activate, as long as the ignition is in the OFF position, or
during a Remote Start event. It will not activate if the
doors are locked and the ignition was placed in the
ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
Proximity Wake-Up may not activate under the following
conditions:
•
After numerous consecutive activations, in order to
conserve the vehicle’s battery
•
After the vehicle’s engine has been off for several
days
Headlight Animation — If Equipped
When “Headlight Illumination On Approach” is turned
on, and set to a time value above zero, the exterior
lights illuminate in a theatrical manner during approach
to the vehicle. This feature is activated in the following
situations:
•
Proximity Wake-Up (if equipped) is activated
•
Remote Start is activated
•
The unlock button on the key fob is pushed
NOTE:
For Headlight Animation to activate with Remote Start
or with the push of the unlock button, “Greeting Lights”
must also be selected within the Uconnect system.
HEADLIGHT DELAY
To aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with a head-
light delay that will leave the headlights on for approxi-
mately 90 seconds. This delay is initiated when the igni-
tion is placed in the OFF position while the headlight
switch is on, and then the headlight switch is cycled off.
Headlight delay can be canceled by either turning the
headlight switch on then off, or by placing the ignition in
the ON position.
NOTE:
The headlight delay time is programmable through
Uconnect Settings
page 170.
