The system switches the low beam
headlamps on at a reduced intensity in
daylight conditions.
To switch the system on, switch the
ignition on, and switch the lighting control
to the off, autolamp or parking lamp
position.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
The system will automatically turn on your
high beams if it is dark enough and no other
traffic is present. When it detects the
headlights of an approaching vehicle, the
tail lamps of the preceding vehicle or street
lighting, the system will turn off the high
beams before they distract other drivers.
The low beams remain on.
Note: If it appears that automatic control
of the high beams is not functioning
properly, check the windshield in front of
the camera for a blockage. A clear view of
the road is required for proper system
operation. Have any windshield damage in
the area of the camera’s field-of-view
repaired.
Note: If the system detects a blockage such
as bird droppings, bug splatter, snow or ice,
and you do not observe changes, the system
will go into low beam mode until you clear
the blockage. A message may also appear
in the instrument cluster display noting the
front camera is blocked.
Note: Typical road dust, dirt and water
spots will not affect the performance of the
automatic high beam system . However, in
cold or inclement weather conditions, you
will notice a decrease in the availability of
the high beam system, especially at start
up. If you want to change the beam state
independently of the system, you may
switch the high beams on or off using the
multifunction switch. Automatic control will
resume when conditions are correct. Note: Modification of the vehicle ride height
such as using much larger tires, may
degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions to decide
when to switch the high beams off and on.
Once the system is active, the high beams
will switch on if:
• the ambient light level is low enough
• there is no traffic in front of the vehicle
• the vehicle speed is greater than
25 mph (40 km/h)
The high beams will switch off if:
• the system detects the headlamps of
an approaching vehicle or the tail
lamps of a preceding vehicle.
• vehicle speed falls below 16 mph
(25 km/h)
• the ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required
• the system detects severe rain, snow
or fog
• the camera is blocked
Activating the System Switch on the system using the information
display and autolamps. See Information
Displays (page 86). See Autolamps
(page 69).

Do not use razor blades or other sharp
objects to clean the inside of the rear
window or to remove decals from the
inside of the rear window. This may
cause damage to the heated grid lines.
Your warranty does not cover this
damage. Heated Exterior Mirror (If Equipped)
Note: Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or attempt to readjust the
mirror glass that has frozen in place. These
actions could cause damage to the glass
and mirrors.
Note: Do not clean the housing or glass of
any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products.
The heated mirrors remove ice, mist and
fog when you switch on the heated rear
window.
CABIN AIR FILTER Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air
filter. It is located behind the glove box.
The particulate filtration system reduces
the concentration of airborne particles
such as dust, spores and pollen in the air
supplied to the interior of your vehicle.
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system.
The particulate filtration system gives you
and your passengers the following
benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 444).
For additional cabin air filter information,
or to replace the filter, see an authorized
dealer.
