2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE low beam

Compass Variance
The mirror is set to zone eight upon leaving the
factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass
to compensate for compass variance if the
vehicle is driven outside zone eight. Under certain
circumstances, such as a long distance,
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust the
compass variance.
Compass variance is the difference between
earth’s magnetic north and true geographic north.
If the mirror is not adjusted to account for zone
changes, the compass could give false readings.
To adjust for zone changes, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the zone map that follows.
2. Press and hold the “auto highbeam” button
approximately six seconds until a zone
number appears in the display.
3. Once the zone number appears in the display,
press the “auto highbeam” button quickly until
you reach the correct zone number. Stop
pressing the button and the mirror will return to
normal operation. If C appears in the compass
window, the compass needs calibration. See
“Compass Calibration” listed previously.

Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
GTurn and Lane Change Signals. See
Turn and Lane-Change Signals on page 196.
53Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 197.
NWindshield Wipers. SeeWindshield
Wipers on page 198.
LWindshield Washer. SeeWindshield
Washer on page 200.
5Rear Wiper Delay. SeeRear Window
Wiper/Washer on page 201.
ZRear Wiper. SeeRear Window
Wiper/Washer on page 201.
=Rear Wiper Wash. SeeRear Window
Wiper/Washer on page 201.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is nished, the lever will
return automatically.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever for
less than one second until the arrow starts to ash.
This will cause the turn signals to automatically
ash three times. It will ash six times if tow-haul
mode is active.
196

Holding the turn signal lever for more than
one second will cause the turn signals to ash until
you release the lever. The lever will return by itself
when it is released.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will ash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash more quickly than normal, a signal
bulb may be burned out and other drivers will not
see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when
you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and a
blown fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 507.Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than
3/4 of a mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound at each
ash of the turn signal and the message TURN
SIGNAL ON will also appear in the Driver
Information Control (DIC). To turn the chime and
message off, move the turn signal lever to the
off position.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
53(Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer):To
change the headlamps from low to high beam, push
the lever toward the instrument panel. To return to
low-beam headlamps, pull the multifunction lever
toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this indicator light
on the instrument panel
cluster will also be on.

IntellliBeam™ Intelligent High-Beam
Headlamp Control System
If your vehicle has this feature, be sure to read
this entire section before using it.
IntellliBeam™ is an enhancement to your vehicle’s
headlamp system. Using a digital light sensor
on your rearview mirror, this system will turn the
vehicle’s high-beam headlamps on and off
according to surrounding traffic conditions.
The IntellliBeam™ system will turn your high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark enough, there is
no other traffic present, and the IntellliBeam
system is enabled.
Turning On and Enabling IntellliBeam™
Press and release the IntellliBeam™ button on the
inside rear view mirror. The IntellliBeam™ indicator
on the mirror will turn on to let you know the system
has been turned on. Once the system has been
turned on, it will remain on each time the vehicle is
started. Additionally, the IntellliBeam system must
be enabled.To enable the IntellliBeam™ system, turn the
exterior lamp control to AUTO, with the turn
signal/multifunction lever in its neutral position.
The High-Beam On Light will appear on the
instrument panel cluster when the high-beams
are on. SeeHighbeam On Light on page 243.
Driving with IntellliBeam™
IntellliBeam™ will only activate your high-beams
when driving over 20 mph (32 km/h).
The high-beam headlamps will remain on, under
the automatic control of IntellliBeam™, until any of
the following situations occur:
The system detects an approaching vehicle’s
headlamps.
The system detects a preceding vehicle’s
taillamps.
The outside light is bright enough that
high-beam headlamps are not required.
The vehicle’s speed drops below
15 mph (24 km/h).
207

The headlamp stalk is moved forward to
the high-beam position. SeeHeadlamp
High/Low-Beam Changer on page 197.
When either of these conditions occur, the
IntellliBeam™ feature will be disabled and the
IntellliBeam™ light in the mirror will turn off
until the high-beam stalk is returned to
the neutral position.
If IntellliBeam™ was using low-beams prior to
this action, the IntellliBeam™ feature will be
temporarily disabled until the stalk is returned
to the neutral position.
The exterior lamp control is turned to any
setting except AUTO.
When this occurs, IntellliBeam™ will be
disabled until the control is turned back to the
AUTO position.
The IntellliBeam™ system is turned off at the
inside rearview mirror.IntellliBeam™ may not turn off the high-beams if
the system cannot detect other vehicle’s lamps
because of any of the following:
The others vehicle’s lamp(s) are missing,
damaged, obstructed from view or otherwise
undetected.
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) are covered with
dirt, snow and/or road spray.
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) cannot be detected
due to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road
spray, mist or other airborne obstructions.
Your vehicle’s windshield is dirty, cracked or
obstructed by something that blocks the
view of the IntellliBeam light sensor.
Your vehicle’s windshield is covered with ice,
dirt, haze or other obstructions.
Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end
of the vehicle points upward, causing the
IntellliBeam sensor to aim high and not detect
headlamps and taillamps.
You are driving on winding or hilly roads.
You may need to manually disable or cancel the
high-beam headlamps by turning the low-beam
headlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist.
