headlamps.
2: Turns on the headlamps together
with the parking lamps and
instrument panel lights.
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
bcomes on in the
instrument cluster when the
IntelliBeam system is enabled.
Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam
To enable the IntelliBeam system,
press
bon the turn signal lever
when it is dark outside and the
exterior lamp control is in AUTO
or
2.
Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the high
beams when driving over 40 km/h
(25 mph).
The blue high-beam on light appears
on the instrument cluster when the
high beams are on.
There is a sensor near the top center
of the windshield that 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 IntelliBeam system is disabled
by the button on the turn signal
lever. If this happens, press
bon
the turn signal lever when the
exterior lamp control is in the
AUTO or
2position to reactivate
the IntelliBeam system. The
instrument cluster light will come
on to indicate the IntelliBeam
system is reactivated.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot
detect another vehicle's lamps because
of any of the following:
.The other vehicle's lamps are
missing, damaged, obstructed from
view, or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle's lamps are
covered with dirt, snow, and/or road
spray.
.The other vehicle's lamps cannot be
detected due to dense exhaust,
smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne obstructions.

.The vehicle's windshield is dirty,
cracked, or obstructed by something
that blocks the view of the light
sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such that the
front end points upward, causing
the light sensor to aim high and not
detect headlamps and taillamps.
.The vehicle is being driven on
winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beam headlamps
may need to be disabled if any of the
above conditions exist.
Adaptive Headlight System
If equipped, the Adaptive Headlight
system allows the high beam to
function as the main driving light at
night. There is a sensor near the top
center of the windshield that
automatically detects the lights of
oncoming and preceding vehicles.
Keep this area of the windshield clear
of debris to allow for best system
performance.
The system turns on all the
high-beam headlamp LED segments
when it is dark enough and there is no
other traffic present. This light

Headlight system is enabled.
Turning On and Enabling Adaptive
Headlight System
To enable the Adaptive Headlight
system, press
bon the turn signal
lever when it is dark outside and the
exterior lamp control is in AUTO
or
2.
Driving with Adaptive Headlight
System
The system only activates the high
beams when driving over 40 km/h
(25 mph). Individual segments of the headlamp
high beam are faded out according to
the traffic situation, preventing high
beam light from glaring oncoming or
preceding traffic. This gives the best
light distribution without glaring
other road users.
The Adaptive Headlight System
remains on until one of the following
situations occurs:
.The fog lamps are turned on.
.The outside light is bright enough
that high-beam headlamps are not
required.
.The vehicle speed drops below
approximately 20 km/h (12 mph).
.The Adaptive Headlight system is
disabled by the button on the turn
signal lever. To reactivate the
system, press
bon the turn
signal lever when the exterior lamp
control is in the AUTO or
2
position. The instrument cluster
light will appear to indicate the
Adaptive Headlight system is
reactivated.

Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to
see the front of the vehicle during the
day. Fully functional DRL are required
on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system comes on when the
following conditions are met:
.The ignition is on.
.The exterior lamp control is
in AUTO.
.The light sensor determines it is
daytime.
When the DRL system is on, only the
DRL are on. The taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, instrument panel lights, and
other lamps will not be on.
When it begins to get dark, the
automatic headlamp system switches
from DRL to the headlamps.
To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior
lamp control to

For vehicles first sold in Canada, off
will only work when the vehicle is
parked.
Automatic Headlamp
System
When it is dark enough outside, the
automatic headlamp system turns on

brightness, along with the taillamps,
sidemarker, parking lamps, and the
instrument panel lights. The radio
lights will also be dim.
To turn off the automatic headlamp
system, turn the exterior lamp control
to
Pand then release it.
The vehicle has a light sensor on the
top of the instrument panel that
controls the automatic headlamp system. Do not cover the sensor,
otherwise the headlamps may come
on when they are not needed.
The system may also turn on the
headlamps when driving through a
parking garage, heavy overcast
weather, or a tunnel. This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition
between the daytime and nighttime
operation of the automatic headlamp
system so that driving under bridges
or bright overhead street lights does
not affect the system. The automatic
headlamp system is only affected
when the light sensor detects a
change in lighting lasting longer than
the delay.
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system will come on immediately.
Once the vehicle leaves the garage,
there is a slight delay for the
automatic headlamp system to change
if it is bright enough outside. During
that delay, the instrument cluster may
not be as bright as usual. Make sure
the instrument panel brightness
