50 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE NOTE: NOTE: detect vehicle specific light and automatically switch from high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view. 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. For vehicles sold in Canada, the Daytime Running Lights 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 Daytime Running Lights can be turned on and off using the Uconnect system Ъ page216. NOTE: The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be turned on or off by selecting “ON” under “Auto Dim High Beams” within your Uconnect Settings Ъ page216, as well as turning the headlight switch to the AUTO position. 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.
