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 an approaching vehicle ’s
headlights, a preceding vehicle ’s tail
lamps 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
blockage. A clear view of the road is
required for proper system operation.
Any windshield damage in the area of
the camera field-of-view should be
repaired.
Note: If a blockage is detected (e.g.
bird dropping, bug splatter, snow, or
ice) and no changes are observed, the
system will go into low beam mode
until the blockage is cleared. 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 automatic high
beam system ’s performance. However,
in cold or inclement weather
conditions, the automatic high beam
system's availability may be decreased.
If you want to change the beam state
independently of the system, you may
turn the high beams ON or OFF using
the multifunction switch lever.
Automatic control will resume when
conditions are correct.
Note: Modification of the vehicle ride
height (e.g. using much larger tires)
may degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor is centrally mounted
behind the windshield of the vehicle,
and monitors conditions continuously
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 that high beams are
needed.
• 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:
• An approaching vehicle's
headlights or a preceding vehicle's
tail lamps are detected.
• Vehicle speed falls below
16 mph
(25 km/h).
• The ambient light level is high
enough that high beams are not
required.

Severe rain, snow, or fog is

See Information Displays (page ?).
See Autolamps (page 82). Turn the lighting control to the
autolamps position.
Manually Overriding the
System
Use the lever to switch between the
high beams and the low beams. Note:
This is a temporary override and
the system will return to automatic
operation after a short period.
To permanently deactivate the
system, use the information display
menu or turn the lighting control
switch from autolamps to headlamps.
DIRECTION INDICATORS Push the lever up or down to use the
direction indicators.
Note:
Tap the lever up or down to
make the direction indicators flash
three times to indicate a lane change.

met:
