Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam
To enable the IntelliBeam system, press
on the turn signal lever when it is
dark outside and the exterior lamp control is
in AUTO or . The blue high-beam on light
appears on the instrument cluster when the
high beams are on.
Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the high beams
when driving over 40 km/h (25 mph).
There is a sensor near the top center of the
windshield that automatically controls the
system. Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best system
performance.
The high-beam headlamps remain on, under
the automatic control, until one of the
following situations occurs:
The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps.
The system detects a preceding vehicle's
taillamps.
The outside light is bright enough that
high-beam headlamps are not required.
The vehicle's speed drops below 20 km/h
(12 mph).
The IntelliBeam system is disabled by the
button on the turn signal lever. If this
happens, press on the turn signal
lever when the exterior lamp control is in
the AUTO or position to reactivate the
IntelliBeam system. The instrument
cluster light will come on to indicate the
IntelliBeam system is reactivated.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot detect
another vehicle's lamps because of any of
the following:
The other vehicle's lamps are missing,
damaged, obstructed from view,
or otherwise undetected.
The other vehicle's lamps are covered
with dirt, snow, and/or road spray.
The other vehicle's lamps cannot be
detected due to dense exhaust, smoke,
fog, snow, road spray, mist, or other
airborne obstructions.
The vehicle's windshield is dirty, cracked,
or obstructed by something that blocks
the view of the light sensor.
The vehicle is loaded such that the front
end points upward, causing the light
sensor to aim high and not detect
headlamps and taillamps.
The vehicle is being driven on winding or
hilly roads.
The IntelliBeam system may need to be
disabled if any of the above conditions exist.
