Intelligent
High-Beam Headlamp Control
System For vehicles with this feature, be
sure to read this entire section
before using it.
IntelliBeam is an enhancement to
the vehicle's headlamp system.
Using a digital light sensor on the

the vehicle's high-beam headlamps
on and off according to surrounding

dark enough, there is no other traffic
present, and the IntelliBeam system
is enabled. Turning On and Enabling
IntelliBeam
Press and release the IntelliBeam
button on the inside rear view
mirror. The IntelliBeam indicator
on the mirror will turn on to let you
know the system has been turned
on. Once the system has been
turned on, it will remain on each
time the vehicle is started.
Additionally, the IntelliBeam
system must be enabled.
To enable the IntelliBeam system,
turn the exterior lamp control to
AUTO, with the turn signal/
multifunction lever in its neutral
position. The High-Beam On Light
will appear on the instrument panel
cluster when the high-beams are on. Driving with IntelliBeam
IntelliBeam will only activate your
high-beams when driving over
32 km/h (20 mph).
The high-beam headlamps will
remain on, under the automatic
control of IntelliBeam, until any of
the following 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. .

position. .
If IntelliBeam was using
low-beams prior to this action,
the IntelliBeam feature will be

stalk is returned to the neutral
position. .
The exterior lamp control is
turned to any setting
except AUTO.
When this occurs, IntelliBeam
will be disabled until the control
is turned back to the AUTO
position. .
The IntelliBeam system is turned
off at the inside rearview mirror.

detect other vehicle's lamps
because of any of the following: .
The others 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. .

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 the IntelliBeam light sensor. .
Your vehicle's windshield is
covered with ice, dirt, haze or
other obstructions. .
Your vehicle is loaded such
that the front end of the vehicle
points upward, causing the
IntelliBeam sensor to aim high
and not detect headlamps and
taillamps. .
You are driving on winding or
hilly roads.
You may need to manually disable
or cancel the high-beam headlamps
by turning the low-beam headlamps
on, if any of the above conditions
exist.
