lamp control to AUTO. 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, which 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 turn signal lever is moved
forward to the high-beam position
or the Flash-to-Pass feature is
used. See Headlamp High/
Low-Beam Changer 0 160 and
Flash-to-Pass 0 160.
The IntelliBeam system can be
disabled by the High/Low-Beam
Changer or the Flash-to-Pass
feature. If this happens, the High/
Low-Beam Changer must be
activated two times within
five seconds to reactivate the
IntelliBeam system. The
instrument cluster light will come
on to indicate the IntelliBeam is
reactivated.
The high 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.
The other vehicle's lamp(s) are
covered with dirt, snow, and/or
road spray.
LIGHTING
The other vehicle's lamp(s) cannot
be detected due to dense exhaust,
smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne obstructions.
Your vehicle's windshield is dirty,
cracked, or obstructed by
something that blocks the view of
the light sensor.
Your vehicle's windshield is
covered with ice, dirt, haze,
or other obstructions.
Your vehicle is loaded such that
the front end points upward,
causing the light sensor to aim
high and not detect headlamps
and taillamps.
You are driving on winding or hilly
roads.
You may need to manually disable or
cancel the high-beam headlamps by
turning the low-beam headlamps on,
if any of the above conditions exist.
