GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 51
DIRECTIONAL LED HEADLAMP
S
YSTEM 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”
Ú page 226.
PARKING LIGHTS AND PANEL LIGHTS
To turn on the parking lights and instrument panel lights,
rotate the headlight switch clockwise. To turn off the
parking lights, rotate the headlight switch back to the
O (off) position.
NOTE:
For vehicles sold in Canada, the first headlight switch
position is the parking lights and instrument panel
lights position (instead of the OFF position).
Vehicles sold in Canada are equipped with a headlight
switch with an AUTO and ON detent but without an
OFF detent. Headlights will be deactivated when the
headlight switch is placed in the parking lights position.
However, the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will be
activated along with the front and rear marker lights.
The DRLs may be deactivated when the parking brake
is engaged.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WITH WIPERS
If your vehicle is equipped with Automatic Headlights, it
also has this customer-programmable feature. When your
headlights are in the automatic mode and the engine is
running, they will automatically turn on when the wiper
system is on. This feature is programmable through the
Uconnect system
Ú page 226.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Rain Sensing Wiper
system
Ú page 56, and it is activated, the headlights will
automatically turn on after the wipers complete five wipe
cycles within approximately one minute, and they will
turn off approximately four minutes after the wipers
completely stop.
NOTE:
When your headlights come on during the daytime, the
instrument panel lights will automatically dim to the lower
nighttime intensity.
HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION ON
A
PPROACH
When enabled, the headlights, exterior door handle
pocket lights (if equipped), and interior lights will
illuminate when the unlock button on the key fob is
pushed as the operator is approaching the vehicle.
This feature can be turned on/off, and the length of time
the headlights stay on can be programmed for up to
90 seconds within Uconnect Settings
Ú page 226.
HEADLIGHT DELAY
To assist when exiting the vehicle, the headlight delay
feature will leave the headlights on for up to 90 seconds.
This delay is initiated when the ignition is placed in the OFF
position 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 position.
NOTE:
This feature can be programmed through the Uconnect
system
Ú page 226.
The headlight delay feature is automatically activated if
the headlight switch is left in the AUTO position when
the ignition is placed in the OFF position.
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.
