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
