Activating The System; Manually Overriding The System - Ford 2015 F-150 Owner's Manual

Note: Typical road dust, dirt and water
spots do not affect the performance of the
automatic high beam control. However, in
cold or inclement weather conditions, you
may notice a decrease in the availability of
the automatic high beam control, especially
at start up. If you want to change the beam
state independently of the system, you may
switch the high beams on or off using the
lighting control switch. Automatic high
beam control resumes when conditions are
correct.
Note: Using much larger tires or equipping
vehicle accessories such as snowplows can
modify your vehicle's ride height and
degrade automatic high beam control
performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions to decide
when to switch the high beams off and on.
Once the system is active, the high beams
switch on if:
• The outside light level is low enough.
• There is no traffic in front of your
vehicle.
• The vehicle speed is greater than
32 mph (52 km/h).
The high beams switch off if:
• The system detects the headlamps of
an approaching vehicle or the rear
lamps vehicle in front of you.
• Vehicle speed falls below 27 mph
(44 km/h).
• The outside light level is high enough
that high beams are not required.
• The system detects severe rain, snow
or fog.
• The camera is blocked.
