IntelliBeam®System
If equipped, this system turns the
vehicle's high-beam headlamps on
and off according to surrounding
traffic conditions.
The system turns the high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark
enough and there is no other traffic
present.
This light comes on in the
instrument cluster when the
IntelliBeam system is enabled.
Turning On and Enabling
IntelliBeam
To enable the automatic high-beam
system, with the turn signal lever in
the neutral position, turn the exterior lamp control to AUTO. The blue
high-beam on light appears on the
instrument cluster when the high
beams are on.
Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the high
beams when driving over 40 km/h
(25 mph).
There is a sensor near the top
center of the windshield, which
automatically controls the system.
Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
The high-beam headlamps remain
on, under the automatic control,
until one of the following situations
occurs:
.
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
20 km/h (12 mph).
. The turn signal lever is moved
forward to the high-beam
position or the Flash-to-Pass
feature is used. See Headlamp
High/Low-Beam Changer 0152
and Flash-to-Pass 0152.
. The IntelliBeam system can be
disabled by the High/Low-Beam
Changer or the Flash-to-Pass
feature. If this happens, the
High/Low-Beam Changer must
be activated two times within
five seconds to reactivate the
IntelliBeam system. The
instrument cluster light will come
on to indicate the IntelliBeam is
reactivated.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot
detect other vehicle's lamps
because of any 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 the light sensor.
. Your vehicle's windshield is
covered with ice, dirt, haze,
or other obstructions.
. Your vehicle is loaded such that
the front end points upward,
causing the light 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.Exterior Lamps Off
