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

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

(25 mph).
There is a sensor near the top
center of the windshield that
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 Intellibeam system is
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
two seconds to reactivate the
Intellibeam system. The
instrument cluster light will come
on to indicate the Intellibeam
system is reactivated.
See
Headlamp High/Low-Beam
Changer 0161 and
Flash-to-Pass 0161.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot
detect another vehicle's lamps
because of any of the following:
. The other vehicle's lamps are
missing, damaged, obstructed
from view, or otherwise
undetected.
. The other vehicle's lamps are
covered with dirt, snow, and/or
road spray.
. The other vehicle's lamps cannot
