If you turn the headlights off before the ignition, they will
turn off in the normal manner.

NOTE:

• The lights must be turned off within 45 seconds of

placing the ignition in the OFF position to activate this
feature.

• The headlight delay time is programmable using the

Uconnect™ Touch System, refer to “Uconnect™ Touch
Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.

SmartBeam™ — If Equipped
The SmartBeam™ 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 spe-
cific light and automatically switches from high beams to
low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.

NOTE:

• SmartBeam™ can be turned on or off using the

Uconnect™ Touch System, refer to “Uconnect™ Touch
Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.

• 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.

Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
The LED Daytime Running Lights will come on when-
ever the ignition is placed in the RUN position, the
headlights are off and the parking brake is off. The
headlight switch must be used for normal nighttime
driving.
