Headlight Switch
The headlight switch is located on the left side of the instrument panel. The switch controls the operation of the headlights, parking lights, instrument panel lights, interior lights and the fog lights.
Headlight Switch With Halo 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 operation.
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 counterclockwise 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 you turn the ignition switch OFF. To turn the Automatic System off, turn the headlight switch clockwise to the O (off) position.
NOTE: The engine must be running before the headlights will come on in the automatic mode.
Headlights On With Wipers — If Equipped
When your headlights are in the AUTO mode and the engine is running, the headlights will automatically turn on when the wiper system is also turned on. Headlights on when windshield wipers are on may be found on vehicles equipped with an automatic headlight system.
NOTE: The Headlights with Wipers feature can be turned on or off through the instrument cluster display — if equipped. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display/Customer Programmable Features” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
Headlight Delay — If Equipped
This feature provides the safety of headlight illumination for up to 90 seconds after exiting your vehicle.
To activate the delay feature, turn OFF the ignition switch while the headlights are still on. Then turn off the head lights within 45 seconds. The 90 second delay interval begins when headlight switch is turned off. If the headlights or parking lights are turned back on or the ignition switch is turned ON, the delay will be cancelled.
When exiting the vehicle the driver can choose to have the headlights remain on for 30, 60 or 90 seconds or not remain on. To change the timer setting, see your authorized dealer.
The headlight delay time is programmable on vehicles equipped with an instrument cluster display. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display/Customer-Programmable Features” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
If the headlights are turned off before the ignition, they will turn off in the normal manner
NOTE: The headlights must be turned off within 45 seconds of turning the ignition OFF to activate this feature.
Lights-On Reminder
If the headlights or the parking lights are left on, or if the dimmer control is in the extreme top position after the ignition switch is turned OFF, a chime will sound when the driver’s door is opened.
Daytime Running Lights — 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 turned OFF. The lights illuminate at less than 50% of normal intensity. If the parking brake is applied, the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) will turn off. Also, 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.
Front Fog Lights — If Equipped
To activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking lights or the low beam headlights and push in the headlight switch control knob. Pushing the headlight switch control knob in a second time will turn the front fog lights off.
Dimmer Controls
The dimmer switch is located next to the headlight switch.
Dimmer Control
With the parking lights or headlights on, rotating the dimmer control upward will increase the brightness of the instrument panel lights.
Interior Lighting On
Rotate the left dimmer control completely upward to the second detent (extreme top position) to turn on the interior lights. The interior lights will remain on when the dimmer control is in this position.
Interior lights are also turned on when a door or liftgate is opened, the remote keyless entry key fob is activated, or when the dimmer control is moved to the extreme top.
The interior lights will automatically turn off in approximately 10 minutes for the first activation and 90 seconds every activation thereafter until the engine is started, if one of the following occur:
- A door, sliding door or the liftgate is left open.
- Any overhead reading light is left on.
NOTE: The ignition must be cycled to the OFF position for this feature to operate.
Interior Lighting Off
Rotate the left dimmer control to the off position (extreme bottom). The interior lights will remain off when the doors or liftgate are open.
Parade Mode (Daytime Brightness Feature)
Rotate the left dimmer control to the first detent. This feature brightens the odometer, radio and overhead displays when the parking lights or headlights are on.
Halo Lights — If Equipped
Halo lights are strategically placed soft lighting that help to illuminate specific areas to aid the occupants in locating specific features while driving at night.
The Halo control switch is located to the right of the dimmer switch.
Halo Control
To activate the Halo lights, rotate the Halo switch control upward or downward to increase or decrease the lighting.
Multifunction Lever
The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the steering column.
Multifunction Lever
The multifunction lever controls the:
- Turn Signals
- Headlight Beams Low/High
- Flash-To-Pass
- Front and Rear Wipers — Washer Functions
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.
Turn Signal Warning
If the vehicle electronics sense that the vehicle has traveled at over 18 mph (29 km/h) for about 1 mile (1.6 km) with the turn signals on, a chime will sound to alert the driver.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal (right or left) will flash three times. Then, the turn signal (right or left) will automatically turn off.
High/Low Beam Switch
When the headlights are turned on, pushing the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel will switch from low beams to high beams. Pulling back to the neutral position returns the headlights to the low beam operation.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by lightly pulling the multifunction lever toward you. This will cause the headlights to turn on at high beam and remain on until the lever is released.
Battery Protection
This feature provides battery protection to avoid wearing down the battery if the headlights, parking lights, or front fog lights are left on for extended periods of time when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position. After eight minutes of the ignition switch being in the LOCK position and the headlight switch in any position other than O (off) or AUTO, the lights will turn off automatically until the next cycle of the ignition switch or headlight switch.
The battery protection feature will be disabled if the ignition switch is turned to any other position other than LOCK during the eight minute delay
