Headlights
Each light-emitting diode (LED) headlamp assembly houses a high and low beam headlamp, a turn signal/accent lamp, and a de-icing lens heating system that includes an internal thermometer.
Neither the lamps nor the internal thermometer can be replaced; the LED headlight must be replaced as an assembly.
Headlight aiming should be checked every time a headlamp assembly is replaced or the hood is removed, installed, or adjusted.
If the headlights need to be cleaned, use a soft cloth, water, and mild, non-caustic soap or detergent.
Heated Headlamps
Activation of the LED headlights heated lens system depends on a number of conditions. See Table..
If the ambient outside temperature is less than 41°F (5°C) when the ignition is turned on, and the battery voltage is above 13V, the heated lenses will turn on for five minutes.
The heated lenses can also be activated by pressing the mirror heat switch or, if equipped, the heated windshield switch.If the engine is running and the ambient outside temperature is less than 68°F (20°C) when one of these switches is pressed, the heated lens system will start cycling: twenty minutes on, twenty minutes off.
If the temperature reaches or exceeds 68°F (20°C) after one of these switches is pressed, the heated lens system turns off. It starts cycling on and off again if the temperature drops below 68°F (20°C) and all other activation conditions are met. Pressing either switch does not turn the LED heated lens system off. Turning the ignition off turns off the LED heated lens system.
