IntelliBeam™ Intelligent High-Beam
Headlamp Control System
For vehicles with this feature, be sure to read this entiresection before using it.
IntelliBeam is an enhancement to the vehicle’sheadlamp system. Using a digital light sensor on therearview mirror, this system turns the vehicle’shigh-beam headlamps on and off according tosurrounding traffic conditions.
The IntelliBeam system turns the high-beam headlampson when it is dark enough, there is no other trafficpresent, and the IntelliBeam system is enabled.
Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam™
Press and release the IntelliBeam button on the insiderear view mirror. The IntelliBeam indicator on themirror turns on to indicate the system is on. Once thesystem has been turned on, it remains on each time thevehicle is started, but the IntelliBeam system must beenabled.
To enable the IntelliBeam system, turn the exterior lampcontrol to AUTO, with the turn signal/multifunctionlever in its neutral position. The High-Beam On Lightappears on the instrument panel cluster when thehigh-beams are on. SeeHighbeam On Light onpage 4-61.

Driving with IntelliBeam™
IntelliBeam only activates the high-beams when drivingover 20 mph (32 km/h).
The high-beam headlamps remain on, under theautomatic control of IntelliBeam, until any of thefollowing situations occur:
•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 15 mph (24 km/h).
•The headlamp stalk is moved forward to the
high-beam position or the flash-to-pass feature isused. SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changeron page 4-6andFlash-to-Pass on page 4-10.
When either of these conditions occur, theIntelliBeam feature is disabled and the IntelliBeamlight in the mirror turns off until the high-beam stalk isreturned to the neutral position.
•If IntelliBeam was using low-beams prior to this
action, the IntelliBeam feature is temporarilydisabled until the stalk is returned to theneutral position.
•The exterior lamp control is turned to any setting
except AUTO.
When this occurs, IntelliBeam is disabled until thecontrol is turned back to the AUTO position.
•The IntelliBeam system is turned off at the inside
rearview mirror.
IntelliBeam might not turn off the high-beams if thesystem cannot detect other vehicle’s lamps because ofany 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.
•Your vehicle’s windshield is dirty, cracked, or
obstructed by something that blocks the view of theIntelliBeam light sensor.
•Your vehicle’s windshield is covered with ice, dirt,
haze, or other obstructions.
4-27

•Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end of the
vehicle points upward, causing the IntelliBeamsensor to aim high and not detect headlamps andtaillamps.
•You are driving on winding or hilly roads.
You might need to manually disable or cancel thehigh-beam headlamps by turning the low-beamheadlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist.
Disabling and Resetting IntelliBeam™ at
the Rearview Mirror
IntelliBeam can be disabled by using the controls on theinside rearview mirror.
AUTO3(On/Off):Press this button on the inside
rearview mirror to disable the system. The IntelliBeamindicator turns off and does not come back on untilthe IntelliBeam button is pressed again.
When IntelliBeam has turned on the high-beams, pull orpush the high-beam stalk. This will disable IntelliBeam.The IntelliBeam indicator on the mirror turns off. Toturn IntelliBeam back on, press the IntelliBeam buttonon the mirror.
A different sensitivity setting is available fordealer/retailer diagnostics. This is done by pushing andholding this button for 20 seconds until the IntelliBeamindicator light flashes three times.

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid toremove fog or frost from the rear window.
<(Rear Defogger):Press to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. Be sure to clear as much snowfrom the rear window as possible. The rear windowdefogger will turn off approximately 20 minutes after thebutton is pressed if the vehicle is moving at slowervehicle speeds. At higher vehicle speeds, the reardefogger may stay on continuously. Each additionalpress will run the defogger for approximately 10 minutes.
The heated outside rearview mirrors will turn on tohelp clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirrorwhen the rear window defogger is on.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp object toclear the inside rear window. Do not adhereanything to the defogger grid lines in the rear glass.These actions may damage the rear defogger.Repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Sensors
The solar sensor, located in the defrost grille, middle ofthe instrument panel, monitors the solar radiation.Do not cover the solar sensor or the system will notwork properly.

It is important to slow down on slippery surfacesbecause stopping distance will be longer and vehiclecontrol more limited.
While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try yourbest to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or braking,including reducing vehicle speed by shifting to a lowergear. Any sudden changes could cause the tires to slide.You may not realize the surface is slippery until thevehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize warningclues — such as enough water, ice, or packed snow onthe road to make a mirrored surface — and slow downwhen you have any doubt.
Remember: Any Antilock Brake System (ABS) helpsavoid only the braking skid.
Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving becausesome drivers are likely to be impaired — by alcohol ordrugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue.
Night driving tips include:
•Drive defensively.
•Do not drink and drive.
•Reduce headlamp glare by adjusting the inside
rearview mirror.
•Slow down and keep more space between you and
other vehicles because headlamps can only light upso much road ahead.
•Watch for animals.
•When tired, pull off the road.
•Do not wear sunglasses.
•Avoid staring directly into approaching headlamps.
•Keep the windshield and all glass on your vehicle
clean — inside and out.
•Keep your eyes moving, especially during turns
or curves.
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime.But, as we get older, these differences increase.A 50-year-old driver might need at least twice as muchlight to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old.
