Smartbeam™ - If Equipped - Jeep Grand Cherokee 2013 Owner's Manual

NOTE: When your headlights come on during the day-
time, the instrument panel lights will automatically dim
to the lower nighttime intensity. Refer to "Lights" in this
section for further information.
SmartBeam™ — If Equipped
The SmartBeam™ 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 spe-
cific light and automatically switches from high beams to
low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
• If the windshield or SmartBeam™ mirror is replaced,
the SmartBeam™ mirror must be re-aimed to ensure
proper performance. See your local authorized dealer.
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 199
• 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 (sticker, toll box, etc.) on the
windshield or camera lens will cause the system to
function improperly.
To Activate
1. Enable the Automatic High Beams. Refer to "Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Customer-
Programmable Features" in "Understanding Your In-
strument Panel" for further information.
2. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO headlight
position.
3. Push the multifunction lever away from you (toward
front of vehicle) to engage the high beam mode.
NOTE: This system will not activate until the vehicle is
at or above 20 mph (32 km/h).
