HEADLIGHT SWITCH
The headlight switch is located on the left side of the instrument panel. This switch controls the operation of the headlights, parking lights, automatic headlights (if equipped), instrument panel light dimming, cargo light/trailer spotter lights (if equipped), and fog lights (if equipped).
Headlight Switch
| 1 — Rotate Headlight Control |
| 2 — Push Front Fog Light Control |
| 3 — Ambient Light Dimmer Control |
| 4 — Instrument Panel Light Dimmer Control |
| 5 — Push Cargo Light Control |
Rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the first detent for parking light and instrument panel light operation. Rotate the headlight switch to the second detent for headlight, parking light, and instrument panel light operation.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS) — IF EQUIPPED
The headlights on your vehicle will illuminate when the engine is started and the transmission is in any gear except PARK. This provides a constant "lights on" condition until the ignition is placed in the OFF position. The lights illuminate at less than half of normal intensity. If the parking brake is applied, the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will turn off.
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, refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
-
For vehicles sold in Canada, the Daytime Running Lights will automatically deactivate when the front fog lights are turned on.
-
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 hazard warning lights are activated).
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel to switch the headlights to high beam. Pulling the multifunction lever back toward the steering wheel will turn the low beams back on, or shut the high beams off.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control 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 or forward facing camera. 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 Headlamp Control can be turned on or off by selecting “ON” under “Auto Dim High Beams” within your Uconnect settings, as well as turning the headlight switch to the AUTO position. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
-
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 opt out of the Advanced Auto High Beam Sensitivity Control (default) and enter Reduced High Beam Sensitivity Control (not recommended), on vehicles equipped with mirror controlled automatic high beams and without the forward facing camera, toggle the high beam lever six full on/off cycles within 10 seconds of placing the ignition in the ON position. The system will return to the default setting when the ignition is OFF.
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.
TO ACTIVATE
-
The Automatic High Beams are enabled through the Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
-
Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO headlight position.
-
Push the multifunction lever away from you (toward front of vehicle) to engage the high beam mode.
Note:
The Automatic High Beams will not activate until the vehicle is at or above 12 mph (20 km/h).
TO DEACTIVATE
-
Pull the multifunction lever toward you (or rearward in vehicle) to manually deactivate the system (normal operation of low beams).
-
Push back on the multifunction lever to reactivate the system.
The Automatic High Beams can also be deactivated through the Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
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, turn the headlight switch counterclockwise to the O (off) position.
Note:
The engine must be running before the headlights will come on in the Automatic mode.
DIRECTIONAL LED HEADLAMP SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
This is a system consisting of LED (low/high beam) headlights that incorporate dynamic cornering with 5-degree inboard/15-degree outboard swivel. The headlights continuously and automatically adapt to the driving conditions around bends or when cornering based on steering wheel angle.
The system directs the headlights to light up the road in the best way, taking into account the speed of the vehicle and the bend or corner angle, as well as the speed of the vehicle while the steering wheel is being turned.
The adaptive lights are automatically activated when the vehicle is traveling above approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).
This system can be turned on/off through the Uconnect Settings under “Steering Directed Lights”. Refer to Uconnect Settings in “Multimedia” for further information.
PARKING LIGHTS AND PANEL LIGHTS
To turn on the parking lights and instrument panel lights, from the O (off) position, rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the first detent. To turn off the parking lights, rotate the headlight switch back to the O (off) position.
HEADLIGHTS ON WITH WIPERS (AVAILABLE WITH AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS ONLY)
When this feature is active, the headlights will turn on approximately 10 seconds after the wipers are turned on if the headlight switch is placed in the AUTO position. In addition, the headlights will turn off when the wipers are turned off, if they were turned on by this feature.
Note:
This feature can be programmed through the Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
HEADLIGHT DELAY
To aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with a headlight delay that will leave the headlights on for up to 90 seconds. This delay is initiated when the ignition is turned off 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/RUN position.
Note:
This feature can be programmed through the Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
LIGHTS-ON REMINDER
If the headlights, parking lights, or cargo lights are left on after the ignition is placed in the OFF position, a chime will sound and a message will appear in the instrument cluster display when the driver’s door is opened.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
To activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking lights or low beam headlights and push in the center of the headlight switch control knob. Pushing the headlight switch control knob a second time will turn the front fog lights off.

TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows on each side of the instrument cluster display will 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.
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.
CARGO LIGHTS/TRAILER SPOTTER LIGHTS WITH BED LIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
