IntelliBeam®Intelligent High-Beam
Headlamp Control System
For vehicles with this feature, be sure to read thisentire section before using it.
IntelliBeam®is an enhancement to the vehicle'sheadlamp system. Using a digital light sensor on therearview mirror, this system will turn the vehicle'shigh-beam headlamps on and off according tosurrounding traffic conditions.
The IntelliBeam®system turns the high-beamheadlamps on when it is dark enough, there is no othertraffic present, 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 will turn on to let you know the system has beenturned on. Once the system has been turned on, it willremain on each time the vehicle is started. Additionally,the IntelliBeam®system must be enabled.
To enable the IntelliBeam®system, turn the exteriorlamp control to AUTO, with the turn signal/multifunctionlever in its neutral position. The High-Beam On Lightwill appear on the instrument panel cluster when thehigh-beams are on. SeeHighbeam On Lightonpage 4!40.
Driving with IntelliBeam®
IntelliBeam®will only activate your high-beams whendriving over 20 mph (32 km/h).
The high-beam headlamps will remain on, under theautomatic control of IntelliBeam®, until any of thefollowing situations occur:
.The system detects an approaching vehicle'sheadlamps.
.The system detects a preceding vehicle'staillamps.
.The outside light is bright enough that high-beamheadlamps are not required.
.The vehicle's speed drops below 15 mph(24 km/h).
4-12

.The headlamp stalk is moved forward to thehigh-beam position. SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changero n p a g e 4!5.
When either of these conditions occur, theIntelliBeam®feature will be disabled and theIntelliBeam®light in the mirror will turn off until thehigh-beam stalk is returned to the neutral position.
.If IntelliBeam®was using low-beams prior to thisaction, the IntelliBeam®feature will be temporarilydisabled until the stalk is returned to the neutralposition.
.The exterior lamp control is turned to any settingexcept AUTO.
When this occurs, IntelliBeam®will be disableduntil the control is turned back to the AUTOposition.
.The IntelliBeam®system is turned off at the insiderearview mirror.
IntelliBeam®may not turn off the high-beams if thesystem cannot detect other vehicle's lamps because ofany of the following:
.The others vehicle's lamp(s) are missing,damaged, obstructed from view or otherwiseundetected.
.The other vehicle's lamp(s) are covered with dirt,snow and/or road spray.
.The other vehicle's lamp(s) cannot be detecteddue to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, roadspray, mist or other airborne obstructions.
.Your vehicle's windshield is dirty, cracked orobstructed by something that blocks the view ofthe IntelliBeam light sensor.
.Your vehicle's windshield is covered with ice, dirt,haze or other obstructions.
.Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end ofthe vehicle points upward, causing the IntelliBeamsensor to aim high and not detect headlamps andtaillamps.
.You are driving on winding or hilly roads.
You may need to manually disable or cancel thehigh-beam headlamps by turning the low-beamheadlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist.
