Automatic Headlights If Equipped
This system automatically turns the headlights on or off
according to ambient light levels. To turn the system on,
rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the last detent
(AUTO position) for automatic headlight operation. When
the system is on, the headlight time delay feature is also on.
This means the headlights will stay on for up to 90 seconds
after you place the ignition into the OFF position. To turn
the automatic system off, move the headlight switch out of
the AUTO position.
Refer to “Headlight Delay” in this section for more infor-
mation.
NOTE: The ignition must be in the RUN or START position
before the headlights will come on in the automatic mode.
Light Sensor
The light sensor is equipped with an infrared LED, located
on the windshield. It detects changes in light intensity
outside the vehicle, based on the sensitivity of light set by
using the menu on the display or on the Uconnect system.
The higher the sensitivity, the lesser the amount of external
light required for controlling the lighting.
Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control 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 multifunction lever must be in the high beam
position in order to activate the Automatic High Beams.
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be
turned on or off using the Uconnect System. 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.
When set to AUTO, the system automatically turns the
headlights on or off based on ambient light levels.
