Automatic High Beam Headlights — If
Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlights
system provides increased forward
lighting at night by automating high beam
control through the use of a digital
camera mounted on the windshield. This

low beams until the approaching vehicle
is out of view.
This function is enabled with the
Information and Entertainment System,
and can only be activated with the light
switch turned to the
(auto) position.
If the high beam headlights are on, the
