Ram 1500/2500/3500: Headlight Delay
To aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with a
headlight delay that will leave the headlights on for
approximately up to 90 seconds. This delay is initiated
when the ignition is turned OFF 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 turning the ignition
ON.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with a touchscreen,
this feature can be programmed through the Uconnect
system. Refer to "Uconnect Settings" in "Understanding
Your Instrument Panel" for further information.
If your vehicle is not equipped with a touchscreen, this
feature can be programmed through the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to "Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)" in "Understanding
Your Instrument Panel" for further information.
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:
- If your vehicle is equipped with a touchscreen the
Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be
turned on or off using the Uconnect System. Refer to
"Uconnect Settings" in "Understanding Your Instrument
Panel" for further information.
- If your vehicle is not equipped with a touchscreen the
Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be
turned on or off using the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display
(DID). Refer to "Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)" or "Driver Information Display (DID)" 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.
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Headlamp
Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed
to ensure proper performance. See your local authorized
dealer.
