Automatic High-beam Headlamps
• Automatically activate to provide maximum
illumination on dark roads
• Use advanced image-based technology and a
camera behind the interior rearview mirror to scan
the road ahead — up to 2500 ft. in front of the
vehicle — and determine if oncoming light sources
are automotive-based
• High-beams are activated if there are no detected
automotive light sources
• Low-beams are activated if oncoming automotive
headlamps or trailing taillamps are detected
• System is designed to function in varying weather
conditions such as fog or rain and will not activate
the high-beams if there is enough ambient lighting
(street light, for example)
• Automatic high-beam headlamps system is
activated via the Message Center and headlamp
switch on the instrument panel
