IntelliBeam®System
If equipped, this system turns thevehicle's high-beam headlamps onand off according to surroundingtraffic conditions.
The system turns the high-beamheadlamps on when it is darkenough and there is no other trafficpresent.
This light comes on in theinstrument cluster when theIntelliBeam system is enabled.

Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the highbeams when driving over 40 km/h(25 mph).
There is a sensor near the topcenter of the windshield thatautomatically controls the system.Keep this area of the windshieldclear of debris to allow for bestsystem performance.
The high-beam headlamps remainon, under the automatic control,until one of the following situationsoccurs:
.The system detects anapproaching vehicle'sheadlamps.

.The system detects a precedingvehicle's taillamps.
.The outside light is brightenough that high-beamheadlamps are not required.
.The vehicle's speed drops below20 km/h (12 mph).
.The IntelliBeam system isdisabled by the high/low-beamchanger or the flash-to-passfeature. If this happens, the high/low-beam changer must beactivated two times withintwo seconds to reactivate theIntelliBeam system. Theinstrument cluster light will comeon to indicate the IntelliBeam isreactivated. SeeHeadlampHigh/Low-Beam Changer0173andFlash-to-Pass0174.
The high beams may not turn offautomatically if the system cannotdetect another vehicle's lampsbecause of any of the following:
.The other vehicle's lamps aremissing, damaged, obstructedfrom view, or otherwiseundetected.
.The other vehicle's lamps arecovered with dirt, snow, and/orroad spray.
.The other vehicle's lamps cannotbe detected due to denseexhaust, smoke, fog, snow, roadspray, mist, or other airborneobstructions.
.The vehicle's windshield is dirty,cracked, or obstructed bysomething that blocks the viewof the light sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such thatthe front end points upward,causing the light sensor to aimhigh and not detect headlampsand taillamps.
.Driving on winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beamheadlamps may need to be disabledif any of the above conditions exist.
