Headlight Switch

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:
• Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlight and fog

light (if equipped) lenses that are lighter and less sus-
ceptible to stone breakage than glass lights. Plastic is not
as scratch resistant as glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be followed.

• To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and

reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To
remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution
followed by rinsing.

CAUTION!

Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents,
steel wool or other abrasive materials to clean the
lenses.

Multifunction Lever

The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the
steering column.

Daytime Running Lights — If Equipped

The Daytime Running Lights (low intensity) come on
whenever the engine is running, and the transmission is
not in the PARK position. The lights will remain on until
the ignition is switched to the OFF or ACC position or the
parking brake is engaged.

NOTE:
• If a turn signal is activated, the DRL lamp on the same

side of the vehicle will turn off for the duration of the
turn signal activation. Once the turn signal is no longer
active, the DRL lamp will illuminate.

function back toward the steering wheel will turn the low
beams back on, or shut the high beams off.

Automatic High Beam — If Equipped

The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control system
provides increased forward lighting at night by automat-
ing high beam control through the use of a digital camera
mounted on the inside rearview mirror. This camera de-
tects 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 High
Beam” within your Uconnect settings, as well as turning
the headlight switch to the AUTO position. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further infor-
mation.

• 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.

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.

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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Turn Signals

Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows
on each side of the instrument cluster 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 defec-
tive.

Lane Change Assist — If Equipped

Tap the multifunction lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal (right or
left) will flash three times then automatically turn off.

Battery Saver

To protect the life of your vehicle’s battery, load shedding
is provided for both the interior and exterior lights.

If the ignition is OFF and any door is left ajar for 10 minutes
or the dimmer control is rotated all the way up to the dome
on position for 10 minutes, the interior lights will automati-
cally turn off.

NOTE:

Battery saver mode is canceled if the ignition is

ON.

If the headlights remain on while the ignition is cycled OFF,
the exterior lights will automatically turn off after eight
minutes. If the headlights are turned on and left on for
eight minutes while the ignition is OFF, the exterior lights
will automatically turn off.

INTERIOR LIGHTS

Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when the front
doors are opened or when the dimmer control (rotating
wheel on the right side of the headlight switch) is rotated
to its farthest upward position. If your vehicle is equipped
with remote keyless entry and the unlock button is pushed
on the key fob, the courtesy and dome lights will turn on.
When a door is open and the interior lights are on, rotating
the dimmer control all the way down, to the last (off)

Windshield Wiper Operation

Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first four detent
positions for intermittent settings, the fifth detent for low
wiper operation and the sixth detent for high wiper
operation.

CAUTION!

Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the
windshield wiper blades from returning to the “park”
position. If the windshield wiper switch is turned off,
and the blades cannot return to the “park” position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.

Intermittent Wiper System

Use one of the four intermittent wiper settings when
weather conditions make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable delay between cycles, desirable. At driving speeds
above 10 mph (16 km/h), the delay can be regulated from
a maximum of approximately 18 seconds between cycles
(first detent), to a cycle every one second (fourth detent).

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:

As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the

switch is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the switch is
released the pump will resume normal operation.

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 wind-
shield during freezing weather, warm the windshield
with the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.

Mist

Use the Mist feature when weather conditions make occa-
sional usage of the wipers necessary. Rotate the end of the
lever downward to the MIST position and release for a
single wiping cycle.

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.

Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped

This feature senses rain or snowfall on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers for the driver. The
feature is especially useful for road splash or overspray
from the windshield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate
the end of the multifunction lever to one of four settings to
activate this feature.

The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the
multifunction lever. Wiper delay position one is the least
sensitive, and wiper delay position four is the most sensi-
tive.

NOTE:

Wiper delay position three should be used for

normal rain conditions.

Settings one and two can be used if the driver desires less
wiper sensitivity. Setting four can be used if the driver
desires more sensitivity. Place the wiper switch in the OFF
position when not using the system.

NOTE:
• The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the

wiper switch is in the low or high-speed position.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

• The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly

when ice, or dried salt water is present on the wind-
shield.

• Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or silicone

may reduce Rain Sensing performance.

• The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off using

the Uconnect System, refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.

The Rain Sensing system has protection features for the
wiper blades and arms, and will not operate under the
following conditions:
• Low Ambient Temperature — When the ignition is first

turned ON, the Rain Sensing system will not operate
until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater
than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the outside temperature is
greater than 32°F (0°C).

• Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When the igni-

tion is ON, and the automatic transmission is in the
NEUTRAL position, the Rain Sensing system will not
operate until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed is
greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the gear selector is
moved out of the NEUTRAL position.

Remote Start Mode Inhibit

— On vehicles equipped with

Remote Starting system, Rain Sensing wipers are not
operational when the vehicle is in the remote start mode.
Once the operator is in the vehicle and has placed the
ignition switch in the RUN position, rain sensing wiper
operation can resume, if it has been selected, and no other
inhibit conditions (mentioned previously) exist.
