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 in the OFF position. The headlight

turn on after the wipers are turned on if the

headlight switch is placed in the AUTO position

and programmable feature is set to on.

In addition, the headlights will turn off when the

wipers are turned off if they were turned on by

this feature.

NOTE:

The Headlights On with Wipers feature can be

turned on or off using the Uconnect System.

Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”

for further information.

Headlight Time Delay

This feature provides the safety of headlight illu-

mination for up to 90 seconds when leaving

your vehicle in an unlit area.
To activate the delay feature, place the ignition

in the OFF position while the headlights are still

on. Then, turn off the headlights within

45 seconds. The delay interval begins when the

headlight switch is turned off.

NOTE:

The lights must be turned off within 45 seconds

of placing the ignition in the OFF position to acti-

vate this feature.

If you turn on the headlights or parking lights, or

place the ignition in the ON position again, the

system will cancel the delay.
If you turn the headlights off before the ignition,

they will turn off in the normal manner.

NOTE:

The Headlight Time Delay is programmable

using the Uconnect System, refer to “Uconnect

Settings” in “Multimedia” for further

information.

selecting the high beam headlights will turn off

the fog lights.

Turn Signals

Move the multifunction lever up or down and

the arrows on each side of the instrument

cluster display flash to show proper operation of

the front and rear turn signal lights.

NOTE:



If either light remains on and does not flash,

or there is a very fast flash rate, check for a

defective outside light bulb. If an indicator

fails to light when the lever is moved, it would

suggest that the indicator bulb is defective.



A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in the

instrument cluster display and a continuous

chime will sound if the vehicle is driven more

than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either turn

signal on.

WIPERS AND WASHERS

The windshield wiper/washer control lever is

located on the left side of the steering column.

Windshield Wiper/Washer Lever

The front wipers are operated by rotating a

switch, located at the end of the lever. For infor-

mation on using the rear window wiper/washer,

refer to “Rear Window Wiper/Washer” in this

section.

Windshield Wiper Operation

Rotate the end of the lever upward, to the first

detent past the intermittent settings for

low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the end of

the lever upward to the second detent past the

intermittent settings for high-speed wiper

operation.

Front Wiper Control

NOTE:

The wipers will automatically return to the

“park” position if you place the ignition in the

OFF position while they are operating. The

wipers will resume operation when you place

the ignition in the ON position.

CAUTION!



Turn the windshield wipers off when driving

through an automatic car wash. Damage to

the windshield wipers may result if the

wiper control is left in any position other

than off.



In cold weather, always turn off the wiper

switch and allow the wipers to return to the

park position before turning off the engine.

If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers

freeze to the windshield, damage to the

wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is

restarted.



Always remove any buildup of snow that

prevents the windshield wiper blades from

returning to the off position. If the wind-

shield wiper control is turned off and the

blades cannot return to the off position,

damage to the wiper motor may occur.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Intermittent Wiper System

Use the intermittent wiper system when

weather conditions make a single wiping cycle,

with a variable pause between cycles, desir-

able. Rotate the end of the windshield

wiper/washer control lever to one of the first

five detents to select the desired delay interval.

Front Wiper Control

There are five delay settings, which allow you to

regulate the wipe interval from a minimum of

one cycle every two seconds to a maximum of

approximately 36 seconds between cycles at

vehicle speeds below 10 mph (16 km/h). At

speeds greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), the

delay varies from a minimum of one cycle every

second to a maximum of approximately

18 seconds between cycles.

NOTE:

The wiper delay times depend on vehicle speed.

If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph

(16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.

Windshield Washers

To use the windshield washer, push the washer

knob, located on the end of the multifunction

lever, inward to the second detent.
If you activate the washer while the wiper

control is in the delay range, the wipers will

operate in low-speed for two or three wipe

cycles after releasing the lever and then resume

the intermittent interval previously selected.
If you activate the washer while the wiper

control is in the off position, the wipers will

operate for two or three wipe cycles and then

turn off.

Mist Feature

Push the washer knob, located on the end of

the multifunction lever, inward to the first

detent to activate a single wipe cycle to clear

the windshield of road mist or spray from a

passing vehicle. The wipers will continue to

operate until you release the lever.

NOTE:

The mist feature does not activate the washer

pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed

on the windshield. The wash function must be

used in order to spray the windshield with

washer fluid.

WARNING!

Sudden loss of visibility through the

windshield could lead to a collision. You might

not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To

avoid sudden icing of the windshield during

freezing weather, warm the windshield with

the defroster before and during windshield

washer use.

three times before returning to the set position.

Rear Wiper/Washer Control

If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is

placed in the OFF position, the wiper will auto-

matically return to the “park” position. When

the vehicle is restarted, the wiper will resume

function at whichever position the switch is set

at.

CLIMATE CONTROLS

The Climate Control system allows you to regu-

late the temperature, air flow, and direction of

air circulating throughout the vehicle. The

controls are located on the touchscreen (if

equipped) and on the instrument panel below

the radio.

than off.



In cold weather, always turn off the wiper

switch and allow the wipers to return to the

park position before turning off the engine.

If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers

freeze to the windshield, damage to the

wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is

restarted.



Always remove any buildup of snow that

prevents the windshield wiper blades from

returning to the off position. If the wind-

shield wiper control is turned off and the

blades cannot return to the off position,
