IntelliBeam
System
If equipped, this system turns the
vehicle's main beam headlamps on
and off according to surrounding
traffic conditions.
The system turns the main beam
headlamps on when it is dark
enough and there is no other traffic
present.
This light comes on in the
instrument cluster when the
IntelliBeam system is enabled.
Turning On and Enabling
IntelliBeam
To enable the IntelliBeam system,
with the indicator lever in the neutral
position, turn the exterior lamp
control to AUTO. The blue main
beam on light appears on the
instrument cluster when the main
beams are on.
Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the main
beams when driving over 40 km/h
(25 mph).
There is a sensor near the top
centre of the windscreen, which
automatically controls the system.
Keep this area of the windscreen
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
The main 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 tail lamps.
The outside light is bright
enough that main beam
headlamps are not required.
Lighting
The vehicle's speed drops below
20 km/h (12 mph).
The indicator lever is moved
forward to the main beam
position or the Flash-to-Pass
feature is used. See Headlamp
Main/dipped beam Changer
0 156 and Flash-to-Pass 0 156.
The IntelliBeam system can be
disabled by the Main/dipped
beam Changer or the
Flash-to-Pass feature. If this
happens, the Main/Dipped-beam
Changer must be activated two
times within two seconds to
reactivate the IntelliBeam
system. The instrument cluster
light will come on to indicate the
IntelliBeam is reactivated.
The main beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot
detect other vehicle's lamps
because of any of the following:
The other vehicle's lamp(s) are
missing, damaged, obstructed
from view, or otherwise
undetected.
