IntelliBeam®System
If equipped, this system turns the
vehicle's high-beam headlamps on and
off according to surrounding traffic
conditions.
The system turns the high-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 turn signal lever in the
neutral position, turn the exterior
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 0159 and
Flash-to-Pass 0159. .
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
two 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.
. The other vehicle's lamp(s) cannot
be detected due to dense exhaust,
smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne obstructions.
