IntelliBeam™ Intelligent High-Beam
Headlamp Control System
For vehicles with this feature, be sure to read this entiresection before using it.
IntelliBeam is an enhancement to the vehicle’sheadlamp system. Using a digital light sensor on therearview mirror, this system turns the vehicle’shigh-beam headlamps on and off according tosurrounding traffic conditions.
The IntelliBeam system turns the high-beam headlampson when it is dark enough, there is no other trafficpresent, and the IntelliBeam system is enabled.
Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam™
Press and release the IntelliBeam button on the insiderear view mirror. The IntelliBeam indicator on themirror turns on to indicate the system is on. Once thesystem has been turned on, it remains on each time thevehicle is started, but the IntelliBeam system must beenabled.
To enable the IntelliBeam system, turn the exterior lampcontrol to AUTO, with the turn signal/multifunctionlever in its neutral position. The High-Beam On Lightappears on the instrument panel cluster when thehigh-beams are on. SeeHighbeam On Light onpage 4-61.
4-26

Driving with IntelliBeam™
IntelliBeam only activates the high-beams when drivingover 20 mph (32 km/h).
The high-beam headlamps remain on, under theautomatic control of IntelliBeam, until any of thefollowing 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).
•The headlamp stalk is moved forward to the
high-beam position or the flash-to-pass feature isused. SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changeron page 4-6andFlash-to-Pass on page 4-10.
When either of these conditions occur, theIntelliBeam feature is disabled and the IntelliBeamlight in the mirror turns off until the high-beam stalk isreturned to the neutral position.
•If IntelliBeam was using low-beams prior to this
action, the IntelliBeam feature is temporarilydisabled until the stalk is returned to theneutral position.
•The exterior lamp control is turned to any setting
except AUTO.
When this occurs, IntelliBeam is disabled until thecontrol is turned back to the AUTO position.
•The IntelliBeam system is turned off at the inside
rearview mirror.
IntelliBeam might not turn off the high-beams if thesystem cannot detect other vehicle’s lamps because ofany of the following:
•The other 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 theIntelliBeam light sensor.
•Your vehicle’s windshield is covered with ice, dirt,
haze, or other obstructions.
4-27

•Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end of the
vehicle points upward, causing the IntelliBeamsensor to aim high and not detect headlamps andtaillamps.
•You are driving on winding or hilly roads.
You might need to manually disable or cancel thehigh-beam headlamps by turning the low-beamheadlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist.
Disabling and Resetting IntelliBeam™ at
the Rearview Mirror
IntelliBeam can be disabled by using the controls on theinside rearview mirror.
AUTO3(On/Off):Press this button on the inside
rearview mirror to disable the system. The IntelliBeamindicator turns off and does not come back on untilthe IntelliBeam button is pressed again.
When IntelliBeam has turned on the high-beams, pull orpush the high-beam stalk. This will disable IntelliBeam.The IntelliBeam indicator on the mirror turns off. Toturn IntelliBeam back on, press the IntelliBeam buttonon the mirror.
A different sensitivity setting is available fordealer/retailer diagnostics. This is done by pushing andholding this button for 20 seconds until the IntelliBeamindicator light flashes three times. If you accidentallyactivate this, the vehicle’ s setting automatically is resetwhen the ignition is turned off and then on again.
Cleaning the IntelliBeam™ Light Sensor
