Note:If it appears that automatic controlof the high beams is not functioningproperly, check the windshield in front ofthe camera for a blockage. A clear view ofthe road is required for proper systemoperation. Have any windshield damage inthe area of the camera’s field-of-viewrepaired.
Note:If the system detects a blockage, forexample bird droppings, bug splatter, snowor ice, the system will go into low beammode until you clear the blockage. Amessage may also appear in the instrumentcluster display noting the front camera isblocked.
Note:Typical road dust, dirt and waterspots will not affect the performance of theautomatic high beam system. However, incold or inclement weather conditions, youwill notice a decrease in the availability ofthe high beam system, especially at startup. If you want to change the beam stateindependently of the system, you mayswitch the high beams on or off using themultifunction switch. Automatic control willresume when conditions are correct.
Note:Modification of the vehicle ride heightsuch as using much larger tires, maydegrade feature performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mountedbehind the windshield of your vehicle,continuously monitors conditions to decidewhen to switch the high beams off and on.
Once the system is active, the high beamswill switch on if:
•the ambient light level is low enough
•there is no traffic in front of the vehicle
•the vehicle speed is greater thanapproximately 32 mph (52 km/h).
The high beams will switch off if:
•the system detects the headlamps ofan approaching vehicle or the taillamps of a preceding vehicle.
•vehicle speed falls belowapproximately 27 mph (44 km/h)
•the ambient light level is high enoughthat high beams are not required
•the system detects severe rain, snowor fog
•the camera is blocked.
