Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control —
If Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control system
provides increased forward lighting at night by automat-
ing high beam control through the use of a digital camera
mounted on the inside rearview mirror. This camera de-
tects vehicle specific light and automatically switches from
high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is
out of view.
NOTE:
•If your vehicle is equipped with a touchscreen, the
Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be turned
on or off using the Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
• If your vehicle is not equipped with a touchscreen, the
Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be turned
on or off using the instrument cluster display. Refer to
“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further information.
• Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and taillights
of vehicles in the field of view will cause headlights to
remain on longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other obstructions on the windshield or camera lens
will cause the system to function improperly.
• To opt out of the Advanced Auto High-Beam Sensitivity
Control (default) and enter Reduced High-Beam Sensi-
tivity Control (not recommended), toggle the high beam
lever six full on/off cycles within 10 seconds of ignition
ON. System will return to default setting upon ignition
off.
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Headlamp
Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed to
ensure proper performance. See your local authorized
dealer.
To Activate
1. If your vehicle is equipped with a touchscreen, the Automatic High Beams are enabled through the
Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
If your vehicle is not equipped with a touchscreen, the
Automatic High Beams are enabled through the instru-
ment cluster display. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display”
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.

a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually accelerate the
clearing process.
