STEERING WHEEL

STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENTS

The steering column is able to be tilted upward or downward. It also allows you to lengthen or shorten the steering column. The tilt/telescoping lever is located below the steering wheel at the end of the steering column

1. Tilt/Telescoping Control Handle 2 — Closed
2. Open
3. Tilt Movement
4. Telescoping Movement

WARNING!

• Do not adjust the steering column while driving. Adjusting the steering column while driving or driving with the steering column unlocked, could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury or death.
• Do not place any objects on the steering wheel (e.g. permanently fixed covers) which could interfere with the hand detection sensor on the steering wheel of the Active Blind Spot Assist (ABSA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Traffic Jam Assist (TJA), or Highway Assist systems (HAS) (if equipped).

To Adjust The Position:

1. Pull the Tilt/Telescoping Control down to the open position.
2. Adjust the steering wheel to the desired position.
3. Lock the desired position by pushing the Tilt/Telescoping Control Handle to the closed position.

WARNING!
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any after-market operation involving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g. installation of the anti-theft device) that could adversely affect performance. Doing so could void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, cause SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS INCLUDING INJURY, and also result in the vehicle not meeting type-approval requirements.

HEATED STEERING WHEEL — IF EQUIPPED
With the ignition in the ON position, push the heated steering wheel button on the instrument panel.

Rain Sensors
Rotating the switch to the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (4), activates the first, less sensitive level of the Rain Sensing function. Rotating the switch to the High Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (3), activates the second, more sensitive level of the Rain Sensing function. Refer to “Rain Sensor” in this section for more information on how this system functions.

Windshield Washer Operation
Pull the stalk toward the steering wheel to operate the windshield washer. Keep the stalk pulled to activate both the windshield washer jet and the windshield wiper with a single movement. The wipers and washers will continue to operate until the stalk is released. The windshield wiper stops working three strokes after the stalk is released, followed by a final stroke six seconds later to complete the cycle.

Mist
Use this feature when weather conditions make occasional usage of the wipers necessary. Push the stalk upward to the MIST position and release for a single wiping cycle. This function is useful to remove small deposits of dust from the windshield or morning dew.

NOTE:
This function does not activate the windshield washer. To spray windshield washer fluid onto the windshield, the washing function must be used.

WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could lead to a collision. You might not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the windshield during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before and during the windshield washer use.

RAIN SENSOR
The Rain Sensor is located behind the interior rearview mirror. This feature senses moisture on the windshield and automatically activates the wipers for the driver. The feature is especially useful for road splash or overspray from the windshield washers of the vehicle ahead. The sensor has an adjustment range that varies progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the windshield is dry, to wiper at a continuous speed (fast operation) with intense rain.

Activation
Rotating the wiper switch to the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (3) activates the rain sensor. The activation of the rain sensor system is done by tapping the wiper stalk upwards while the the switch is in the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain Sensing position (3). The variation in sensitivity during rain sensor operation is also signaled by a stroke of the wiper (command acquired and implemented). This stroke is also executed with the windshield dry. If the windshield washer is used with the rain sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is performed, after which the rain sensor resumes It’s a normal automatic operation.

NOTE:
Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.

Deactivation
Use the wiper switch or place the ignition in the OFF position. In the event of a malfunction of the rain sensor while it is active, the windshield wiper operates intermittently at a speed consistent with the sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, whether or not there is rain on the glass for as long as the sensor failure is indicated on the display. The sensor continues to operate and it is possible to set the windshield wiper to continuous mode (1 or 2). The failure indication remains on for as long as the sensor is active.

The rain sensor is able to recognize and automatically adjust itself in the presence of the following conditions:

• Presence of dirt on the controlled surface (e.g. salt, dirt, etc.).
• Presence of streaks of water caused by the worn window wiper blades.
• Difference between day and night.

REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
Shifting the vehicle into REVERSE with the windshield wiper operating activates a single cycle of the rear window wiper.

Activation of the rear window wiper/washer can be done by moving the stalk to one of the following positions:

• Pushing the stalk toward the instrument panel activates the rear window washer (a brief push activates one washing cycle, keeping the stalk pushed washes continuously until the stalk is released).
• Pushing the stalk downward activates/ deactivates continuous rear wiper operation.

HEADLAMP WASHERS — IF EQUIPPED

The windshield wiper stalk operates the headlight washers when the ignition is in the ON position and the headlights are turned on. The windshield wiper stalk is located on the right side of the steering column. To use the headlight washers, pull the stalk toward you and release it. The headlight washers will spray a timed high-pressure spray of washer fluid onto each headlight lens. In addition, the windshield washers will spray the windshield and the windshield wipers will cycle.

NOTE:
The headlight washers work on every tenth wash cycle request.

Automatic High Beam Headlights — If Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlights system provides increased forward lighting at night by automating high beam control through the use of a digital camera mounted on the windshield. This camera detects vehicle-specific light and automatically turns from high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view. This function can be enabled in the radio system by selecting “Settings”, and “Lights”, and then turning “Automatic High Beam” to ON. It is then activated by rotating the headlight switch to the (auto) position and pushing the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel. While the high beam headlights are on, the blue icon/indicator light will illuminate the instrument panel.

NOTE:
The “On” selection within the radio system is saved if the ignition is placed in the OFF position, and then back into ON. When the speed is higher than 25 mph (40 km/h) and the function is active, the lights will turn off if the multifunction lever is pushed again. When the speed is lower than 15 mph (25 km/h) and the function is active, the feature will turn the high-beam headlights off. If the high beam headlights are operated again (pushing the multifunction lever towards the instrument panel), the indicator light/icon will illuminate the instrument panel, and the main beam headlights only will be on until the speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h). When the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) is exceeded again, the automatic functioning is reactivated.
