Headlight Switch (Vehicles Sold In Canada Only)
1 — Rotate Headlight Control
2 — Push Cargo Light Switch
3 — Push Fog Light Switch

NOTE:
Vehicles sold in Canada are equipped with a headlight switch without the O (off) position. In order to turn the exterior lights off, the headlight switch must be rotated to AUTO position.
To turn on the headlights, rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the headlight position. When the headlight switch is on, the parking lights, taillights, license plate light and instrument panel lights are also turned on. To turn off the headlights, rotate the headlight switch back to the O (off) position.
For vehicles sold in Canada, rotate the headlight switch clockwise from the AUTO position to the first detent for parking lights and instrument panel lights. Rotate to the second detent to turn on headlights, parking lights, and instrument panel lights.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel wool or other abrasive materials to clean the lenses.
NOTE:
● Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlight and fog light (if equipped) lenses that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage than glass lights. Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and therefore different lens cleaning procedures must be followed.
● To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution followed by rinsing.
MULTIFUNCTION LEVER
The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the steering column.
Multifunction Lever
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS) — IF EQUIPPED
The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) come on whenever the engine is running, and the low beams are not on. The lights will remain on until the ignition is placed in the OFF or ACC position, or the parking brake is engaged.
NOTE:
● For vehicles sold in Canada, the DRLs will automatically deactivate when the front fog lights are turned on.
● If allowed by law in the country in which the vehicle was purchased, the DRLs can be turned on and off using the Uconnect system.
● On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights may deactivate or reduce intensity on one side of the vehicle (when a turn signal is activated on that side), or on both sides of the vehicle (when the hazard warning lights are activated).
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel to switch the headlights to high beams.
Pulling the multifunction lever back will turn the low beams on.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
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. This camera detects vehicle specific light and automatically switches from high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
● The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be turned on or off by selecting “ON” under ..
“Auto Dim High Beams” within your Uconnect system, as well as turning the headlight switch to the AUTO position.
● 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.
● 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.
● To opt out of the Advanced Auto High Beam Sensitivity Control (default) and enter Reduced High Beam Sensitivity Control (not recommended), toggle the high beam lever six full on/ off cycles within 10 seconds of placing the ignition in the ON position. The system will return to the default setting upon placing the ignition in the OFF position.
FLASH-TO-PASS
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.
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 to the AUTO position.
When the system is on, the Headlight 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 headlights off, turn the headlight switch out of the AUTO position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the headlights will turn on in the Automatic Mode.
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, rotate the headlight switch to the AUTO position to turn off the parking lights.
HEADLIGHTS ON 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.
NOTE:
When your headlights come on during the daytime, the instrument panel lights will automatically dim to the lower nighttime intensity.
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 cancelled 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.
● 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, the vehicle will chime when the driver’s door is opened.
FOG LIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
The fog lights are turned on by rotating the headlight switch to the parking light or headlight position and pushing in the headlight rotary control.
Fog Light Switch
Fog Light Switch (Vehicles Sold In Canada Only)
The fog lights will operate only when the parking lights are on or when the vehicle headlights are on low beam. An indicator light located in the instrument cluster will illuminate when the fog lights are on. The fog lights will turn off when the switch is pushed a second time, when the headlight switch is rotated to the off position, or the high beam is selected.
TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or down to activate the turn signals. The arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to show proper operation.
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.
LANE CHANGE ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
Lightly push the multifunction lever up or down, without moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal will flash three times then automatically turn off.
CARGO LIGHT WITH BED LIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
The cargo light and bed lights (if equipped) are turned on by pushing the cargo light button located just below the headlight switch.
Cargo/Bed Light Button
Cargo/Bed Light Button (Vehicles Sold In Canada Only)
When the vehicle is stationary, these lights can also be turned on using the switch located just inside the pickup box. A telltale will illuminate in the instrument cluster display when these lights are on. Pushing the switch a second time will turn the lights off.
Bed Light Switch Without RamBox
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.
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.
BATTERY SAVER
Timers are set to both the interior and exterior lights to protect the life of your vehicle’s battery.
After 10 minutes, if the ignition is OFF and any door is left open or the dimmer control is rotated all the way up to the dome light on position, the interior lights will automatically 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.
