2023 Jeep Avenger Lightning Setup

When it comes to new ideas in cars, the 2023 Jeep Avenger shines with its carefully made lighting system that shows off both style and function. From the time the sun goes down to the darkest parts of the road, the Avenger’s lighting system shows a chorus of lights that are meant to make the car safer, more visible, and look better. The outside of the car has LED headlights, dynamic turn signs, and optional adaptive lighting that work well together to make sure that the road is always clear and the driver is always aware. Inside the cabin, ambient lighting gives off a soft glow that makes both the driver and the guests feel welcome. The controls, buttons, and instruments are easy to use and navigate because lighting elements draw attention to them. The 2023 Jeep Avenger’s lighting system is more than just a practical requirement. It’s a dynamic blend of design, technology, and safety that lights the way forward in every way.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Turn light switch (1) 

• AUTO : automatic light control, switches automatically between daytime running light and headlight
• : sidelamps
• : dipped or main beam headlamps

HEADLAMP DIPPING

• Pull the lighting control stalk fig. 59 to switch between dipped and main beam headlamps.
• In “AUTO” and sidelamps mode, pull the lighting control stalk to switch the main beam headlamps on directly (“headlamp flash”).
  • Main beams on: the lamp switches on in the instrument panel.
  • Dipped headlamps on: the lamp switches on in the instrument panel.

REAR FOGLAMP

• It only works if the dipped or main beam headlamps are on.
• Rotate the ring (2) fig. 60 forwards/backwards to turn it on/off.

When the lighting is switched off automatically (“AUTO” position) the foglamp and the sidelamps remain on.

FRONT FOGLAMPS/REAR FOGLAMP (where provided)
They operate with the sidelamps, dipped or main beam headlamps on.

Rotate the ring (3) fig. 61 forwards: once to switch on the front foglamps  a second time to switch on the rear foglamp Turn in the opposite direction to switch off If the lighting is switched off automatically (“AUTO” position) or the dipped beam headlamps are switched off manually, the foglamps and sidelamps remain on. Rotate the ring backwards to switch the foglamps off; the sidelamps will then switch off.

WARNING: 

• When the ignition is switched off, all of the lamps turn off immediately, except for the sidelamps and the dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-me-home lighting is activated.
• To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the ring to the “AUTO” position, then to the desired position. If the driver’s door is opened, a temporary audible signal warns the driver that the lamps are on. They will go off automatically after a period of time that depends on the level of charge in the conventional battery
  (entering energy economy mode).
• In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), misting on the internal surface of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.

Daytime running lamps/ Sidelamps

• These LED lamps at the front and rear of the vehicle light up automatically when the engine starts.
• They perform the following functions:
• Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk at position “AUTO” with adequate ambient light)
• Sidelamps (lighting control stalk at position “AUTO” with low ambient light or “Sidelamps only” or “Dipped/main beam headlamps”)

DIRECTION INDICATORS

Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control stalk fig. 62, beyond the point of resistance.
NOTE If you keep the direction indicators on for more than 20 seconds, the volume of the audible signal will increase if the speed is above 50 mph (80 km/h).

Three flashes
Press briefly upwards or downwards, without going beyond the point of resistance; the direction indicators will flash 3 times.

Parking lamps (where provided)

• Vehicle side marking by lighting the sidelamps on the traffic side only.
• Within one minute after switching off the ignition, operate the lighting control stalk upwards or downwards, depending on the side of the traffic (e.g. when parking on the right, push the lighting control stalk down to light up on the left). This is confirmed by an audible signal and the lighting of the corresponding direction indicator lamp on the instrument panel.
• To switch off the parking lamps, return the lighting control stalk to the central position.

AUTOMATIC ILLUMINATION OF LAMPS
With the lighting control stalk in the “AUTO” position and if a low level of exterior brightness is detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, without any action on the part of the driver. They may also come on if rain is detected, at the same time as automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.

• As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers are switched off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
• In the event of a malfunction of the rain/ sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lamps come on and this warning lamp is displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and/or the display of a  message. Have it checked by a Jeep Dealership

NOTE In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light. For this reason, the lighting will not come on automatically.
NOTE The inner surface of the windscreen may become misted up and affect the proper operation of the rain/sunshine sensor. In humid and cold weather, demist the windscreen regularly.

Operating limits

• The automatic lighting systems use a detection camera, located at the top of the windscreen.
• The system may be disrupted or not work correctly:
• When visibility conditions are poor (e.g. snowfall, heavy rain)
• If the windscreen is dirty, misted-up or masked (e.g. sticker) in front of the camera the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs or safety barrier reflectors
• The system is not able to detect:
• Road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians
• Vehicles with hidden lighting (e.g. travelling behind a safety barrier on the motorway)
• Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on winding roads, on crossroads

HEADLAMP BEAM HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

To avoid dazzling other road users, the height of these headlamp beams must be adjusted according to the load in the vehicle.

Turn the gear (1) fig. 63:

• 0 (Initial setting): Driver only or driver + front passenger
• 1: 5 people
• 2: 5 people + load in the boot
• 3: Driver only + load in the boot
• 4, 5, 6: Not used

GUIDE-ME-HOME AND WELCOME LIGHTING

Guide-me-home lighting
Automatic: with the ring of the lighting control stalk in the “AUTO” position and when the light is poor, the sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps come on automatically when the ignition is switched off. The function can be activated/deactivated and the guide-me-home lighting duration adjusted through the Uconnect™ 10.25″/10.25″ NAV system (Settings>Vehicle>Vehicle lighting).
Manual: with the ignition off, pull the lighting control stalk toward you (“headlamp flash”) to activate/ deactivate the function. Manual guide-me-home lighting goes off automatically after a period of time.

Welcome lighting (where provided)
When the vehicle is unlocked, if the ambient light is low and the “Automatic illumination of headlamps” function is activated, this system automatically turns on certain exterior lamps as well as certain lamps in the passenger compartment. The function can be activated/deactivated and the welcome lighting duration adjusted through the

Uconnect™ 10.25″/10.25″ NAV system, fig. 64.

AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP DIPPING
With the ring of the lighting control stalk in the “AUTO” position and the function activated on the touch screen, this system automatically switches between dipped and main beam headlamps when a vehicle approaches in the opposite direction, using a camera located at the top of the windscreen.

NOTE The system becomes operational when the vehicle exceeds 25 km/h (16 mph). When the speed falls below 15 km/h (9 mph), the function is no longer operational.
The function can be activated/deactivated through the Uconnect™ 10.25″/10.25″ NAV system (Settings>Vehicle>Vehicle lighting), fig. 65.

Operation

• If the ambient light level is very low and traffic conditions permit, the main beam headlamps come on automatically.
• The lampslight up on the instrument panel.
• If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the traffic conditions do not allow the main beam headlamps to be lit, the dipped beam headlamps remain lit andlight up on the instrument panel.
  The function is deactivated if the foglamps are switched on or if the system detects poor visibility conditions (e.g. fog, heavy rain, snowfall).
  When the foglamps are switched off or when the visibility conditions become favourable again, the function is automatically reactivated.
• The lampgoes out when the function is deactivated.

Pause

• If the situation requires a change of headlamp beam, the driver can take over at any time.
• Switch the headlamps manually between dipped and main beam to pause the function.

If thelamps were on, the system changes to main beam.
If theindicator lamps were on, the system changes to dipped beam.
To reactivate the function, once again switch the headlamps manually between dipped and main beam.

Malfunction
If a malfunction occurs with the system or the camera, the orange lamp lights up on the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a message. Have it checked by a Jeep Dealership.

CORNERING LIGHTING (where provided)
This system makes use of the beam from a front foglamp to illuminate the inside of a bend, when the main or dipped beam headlamps are on and the vehicle speed is below 40 km/h (25 mph) (urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking manoeuvres).

The function can be activated/deactivated through the Uconnect™ 10.25″/10.25″ NAV system (Settings>Vehicle>Vehicle lighting), fig. 67.

Switching on/off

• This system starts: when the corresponding direction indicator is switched on or from a certain angle of rotation of the steering whee
• It becomes inactive: below a certain angle of rotation of the steering wheel above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) when reverse gear is engaged

PUDDLE LIGHT
The puddle light under each external mirror comes on automatically when the door is opened and switches off when it is closed regardless of the ignition device status.

WARNING

• When driving, the driver is responsible for ensuring that the light control switch is in the AUTO position (dusk sensor active) or in the “position light” (sidelamp) mode , if visibility and ambient
  light are sufficient to allow safe driving in accordance with the local traffic regulations.
• Switching on the foglamps is prohibited in clear weather or in rain, both day and night. In these situations, the power of their beams may dazzle other drivers. They must only be used in fog or falling snow (rules may vary depending on country). Do not forget to switch off the foglamps when they are no longer necessary.
• Never look too closely at the light beam of LED technology lamps – risk of serious eye injury!
• This system is a driving aid. The driver remains responsible for the vehicle’s lighting, its correct use in the prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions, and for compliance with driving and vehicle regulations.
• The Automatic headlight dipping function may dazzle other road users when the vehicle is driven in countries where traffic moves on the opposite side of the road. E.g. when the vehicle was designed for left hand drive traffic and it is driven in a country with right hand drive traffic. Switch off the function whenever you are driving in countries mentioned above!

IMPORTANT

• Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor located at the top centre of the windscreen behind the interior rear view mirror; the associated functions would no longer be controlled.
• Clean the windscreen regularly, particularly the area in front of the camera. The internal surface of the windscreen can also become misted around the camera. In humid and cold weather, demist the windscreen regularly. Do not allow snow to accumulate on the bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could obstruct the camera.
