“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
If your vehicle is equipped with a “Rain Sensi-
tive Wiper System” and it is activated, the
headlights will automatically turn on after the
wipers complete five wipe cycles within approxi-
mately one minute, and they will turn off ap-
proximately four minutes after the wipers com-
pletely stop. Refer to “Windshield Wipers And
Washers” in this section for further information.
NOTE:
When your headlights come on during the
daytime, the instrument panel lights will
automatically dim to the lower nighttime
intensity.
Automatic High Beam — If Equipped
The automatic high beam system provides in-
creased forward lighting at night by automating
high beam control through the use of a digital
camera mounted on the inside rearview mirror.
This camera detects vehicle specific light and
automatically switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is out of
view.
NOTE:
•
If the windshield or automatic high beam
mirror is replaced, the automatic high
beam mirror must be re-aimed to ensure
proper performance. See your local au-
thorized dealer.
•
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 (sticker, toll
box, etc.) on the windshield or camera
lens will cause the system to function
improperly.
To Activate
1. Enable the Automatic High Beams through
the Uconnect® system screen. Refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
2. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO head-
light position.
3. Push the multifunction lever away from you
(toward front of vehicle) to engage the high
beam mode.
NOTE:
This system will not activate until the ve-
hicle is at or above 20 mph (32 km/h).
To Deactivate
1. Pull the multifunction lever toward you (or
rearward in car) to manually deactivate the
system (normal operation of low beams).
2. Push back on the multifunction lever once
again to reactivate the system.
Automatic Headlight Leveling — HID
Headlights Only
This feature prevents the headlights from inter-
fering with the vision of oncoming drivers.
Headlight leveling automatically adjusts the
height of the headlight beam in reaction to
changes in vehicle pitch.
