EXTERIOR LIGHTS
Headlight Switch
The headlight switch is located on the left side of the instru- ment panel. This switch controls the operation of the head- lights, parking lights, automatic headlights (if equipped), instrument panel lights, cargo light (if equipped) and fog lights (if equipped).
Headlight Switch
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.
The headlights on your vehicle will illuminate when the engine is started. This provides a constant "lights on" condi- tion until the ignition is placed in the OFF position. If the parking brake is applied, the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will turn off. Also, if a turn signal is activated, the DRL lamp on the same side of the vehicle may turn off for the duration of the turn signal activation. Once the turn signal is no longer active, the DRL lamp will illuminate.
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.
The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the steering column.
Multifunction Lever
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel to switch the headlights to high beam. Pulling the multifunc- tion lever back toward the steering wheel will turn the low beams back on, or shut the high beams off.
High/Low Beam Switch
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 a windshield mounted camera. These cameras detect vehicle specific light and automatically switch from high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
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.
NOTE:
The Automatic High Beams will not activate until the vehicle
is at or above 12 mph (20 km/h).
The Automatic High Beams can also be deactivated through the Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi- media” for further information.
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.
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 counter- clockwise to the O (off) position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the headlights will come on in the Automatic mode.
To turn on the parking lights and instrument panel lights, from the O (off) position, rotate the headlight switch clock- wise to the first detent. To turn off the parking lights, rotate the headlight switch back to the O (off) position.
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 addi- tion, 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.
To aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with a headlight delay that will leave the headlights on for approximately 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.
If the headlights, parking lights, or cargo lights are left on after the ignition is placed in the OFF position, a chime will sound when the driver's door is opened.
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.
Front Fog Light Switch
If the fog lights are off, one of the fog lights will illuminate depending on the direction in which the vehicle is turning. This will provide increased visibility while turning, depending on the angle of the steering wheel.
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.
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.
The cargo light and bed lights (if equipped) are turned on by pushing the cargo lights button located on the lower half of the headlight switch.
Cargo/Bed Lights Button On Headlight Switch
If the vehicle's speed is 0 mph (0 km/h), these lights can also be turned on using the switch located just inside the pickup box, on the lower part of the bed light lens. A telltale will illu- minate in the instrument cluster display when these lights are on. Pushing the switch a second time will turn the lights off.
NOTE:
The cargo light will automatically turn off if the vehicle is shifted into NEUTRAL or DRIVE, and will turn back on when the vehicle is shifted into PARK or REVERSE. The bed lights are not affected by gear selection.
Bed Light Switch In Truck Bed
The cargo light and bed lights (if equipped) will turn on for approximately 60 seconds when a key fob unlock button is pushed, as part of the Illuminated Entry feature.
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 placed in the OFF position, 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.
