conditions, for example daytime fog.
Autolamps turn the headlamps on in low
light situations or when the wipers operate. Switch the lighting control to the
autolamps position.
The headlamps remain on for a period of
time after you switch the ignition off. Use
the information display controls to adjust
the period of time that the headlamps
remain on.
Note: If you switch the autolamps on, you
cannot switch the high beams on until the

WHAT IS AUTOMATIC HIGH
BEAM CONTROL
The system turns on high beams if it is dark
enough and no other traffic is present. If it
detects an approaching vehicle
’s
headlamps or tail lamps, or street lighting
ahead, the system turns the high beams
off. Low beams remain on.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions to turn
the high beams on and off.
SWITCHING AUTOMATIC HIGH
BEAM CONTROL ON AND OFF
Switch the system on or off using the
information display. See General
Information (page 30).
Activating the Automatic High
Beam Control Switch the lighting control to the
autolamps position to activate.
See
Autolamps (page 19).
Note: Automatic high beams are not
available when you do not turn on
autolamps.
When active, the high beams turn on if all
of the following occur:
• The ambient light level is low enough.
• There is no traffic in front of your
vehicle.
• The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately
32 mph (52 km/h).
When active, the high beams turn off if any
of the following occur:
• The ambient light level is high enough
that it does not require high beams.
• The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps. •
The system detects severe rain, snow
or fog.
• The camera is blocked.
• The vehicle speed falls below
approximately
27 mph (44 km/h).
Note: The deactivation speed is lower on
curves.
Note: There could be a delay in high beam
reactivation in certain curvy road situations.
Note: If you have a blocked sensor, the
system may not operate properly. Keep the
windshield free from obstruction or damage.
Note: The system may not operate properly
in cold or inclement conditions. You can
switch on the high beams by overriding the
system.
Note: If the system detects a blockage, for
example bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, the system goes into low beam mode
until you clear the blockage. If you have a
blocked camera, a message may appear in
the information display.
Note: Using much larger tires or equipping
vehicle accessories such as snowplows can
modify your vehicle's ride height and
degrade automatic high beam control
performance.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL INDICATORS The indicator illuminates to
confirm when the system is
ready to assist.

in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy
rain, spray or snow. WARNING:
Do not use the system
when towing a trailer that has
aftermarket electronic trailer brake
controls. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:

other than those recommended because
this can affect the normal operation of
the system. Failure to do so may result
in a loss of vehicle control, which could
result in serious injury. WARNING:
The system may not
detect stationary or slow moving
vehicles below
6 mph (10 km/h). WARNING:
The system does not
detect pedestrians or objects in the road. WARNING:
The system does not
detect oncoming vehicles in the same
lane. WARNING:
The system is not a
crash warning or avoidance system. WARNING:
Do not use the system
with a snow plow blade installed.
The system adjusts your vehicle speed to
maintain the set gap between you and the
vehicle in front of you in the same lane.
You can select four gap settings.
The system uses a radar sensor that
projects a beam directly in front of your
vehicle.
