Lighting 6-3IntelliBeam ®
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
rearview mirror, this system will turn
the vehicle's high-beam headlamps
on and off according to surrounding
traffic conditions.
The IntelliBeam system turns the
high-beam headlamps on when it is
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. .
The vehicle's speed drops below
24 km/h (15 mph).

The headlamp stalk is moved
forward to the high-beam
position.
When either of these conditions
occur, the IntelliBeam feature
will be disabled and the
IntelliBeam light in the mirror
will turn off until the high-beam
stalk is returned to the neutral
position. .
If IntelliBeam was using
low-beams prior to this action,
the IntelliBeam feature will be
temporarily disabled until the
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.
IntelliBeam may not turn off the
high-beams if the system cannot
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. .
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 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.

Cleaning the IntelliBeam Light
Sensor
The light sensor is located on the
inside of the vehicle in front of the
inside rearview mirror. Clean the light sensor window,
periodically, using glass cleaner on
a soft cloth. Gently wipe the sensor
window. Do not spray glass cleaner
directly on the surface of the sensor
window.

Headlamp
High/Low-Beam Changer

Beam Changer): To change the
headlamps from low to high beam,
push the lever toward the instrument
panel. To return to low-beam
headlamps, pull the multifunction
lever toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams are on, this
indicator light on the instrument
panel cluster will also be on. Flash-to-Pass This feature lets you use the
high-beam headlamps to signal
a driver in front of you that you
want to pass. It works even if the
headlamps are in the automatic
position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever
toward you, then release it.
If the headlamps are in the
automatic position or on low
beam, the high-beam headlamps
will turn on. They will stay on as
long as you hold the lever toward
you. The high-beam indicator on
the instrument panel cluster will
come on. Release the lever to
return to normal operation.
The low ‐ beam headlamps must be
on for the flash ‐ to ‐ pass feature
to work. Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional daytime running
lamps 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 lamps control is
in AUTO. .
The transmission is not in Park. .
The light sensor determines it is
daytime.

Black plate (7,1)Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV Owner Manual - 2011
Lighting 6-7When the DRL system is on,
only the DRL lamps are on. The
taillamps, sidemarker, 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 lamps, turn the
exterior lamps control to the OFF
position and then release. For
vehicles first sold in Canada, the
transmission must be in the P (Park)
position before the DRL lamps can
be turned off. Automatic Headlamp
System When it is dark enough outside, the
automatic headlamp system turns
on the headlamps at the normal
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 lamps
switch to the off position and then
release it. The vehicle has a light sensor
located on the top of the instrument
panel which regulates when the
automatic headlamps turn on. Do
not cover the sensor, otherwise the
headlamps will come on whenever
the ignition is on.
The system may also turn on the
headlamps when driving through a
parking garage, heavy overcast
weather, or a tunnel. This is normal.

Black plate (8,1)Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV Owner Manual - 2011
6-8 Lighting 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,
it takes approximately one minute
for the automatic headlamp system
to change if it is bright enough
outside. During that delay, the instrument panel cluster may not be
as bright as usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness control
is in the full bright position. See
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control on page 6 ‑ 10 .
To idle the vehicle with the
automatic headlamp system off,
turn the control to the off position.
The headlamps will also stay on
after you exit the vehicle. This
feature can be programmed using
the Driver Information Center (DIC).
See Vehicle Personalization on
page 5 ‑ 40 .
The regular headlamp system can
be turned on when needed. Hazard Warning Flashers
| (Hazard Warning Flashers):
Press this button located on top of
the steering column, to make the
front and rear turn signal lamps
flash on and off. This warns others
that you are having trouble. Press
again to turn the flashers off.
When the hazard warning flashers
are on, the vehicle's turn signals will
not work.
