IntelliBeam®System
If equipped, this system turns thevehicle's high-beam headlamps onand off according to surroundingtraffic conditions.
The system turns the high-beamheadlamps on when it is darkenough and there is no other trafficpresent.
This light comes on in theinstrument cluster when theIntelliBeam system is enabled.
Turning On and EnablingIntelliBeam
To e n a b l e t h e I n t e l l i B e a m s y s t e m ,with the turn signal lever in theneutral position, turn the exteriorlamp control to AUTO. The bluehigh-beam on light appears on theinstrument cluster when the highbeams are on.
Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the highbeams when driving over 40 km/h(25 mph).
There is a sensor near the topcenter of the windshield thatautomatically controls the system.Keep this area of the windshieldclear of debris to allow for bestsystem performance.
The high-beam headlamps remainon, under the automatic control,until one of the following situationsoccurs:
.The system detects anapproaching vehicle'sheadlamps.

.The system detects a precedingvehicle's taillamps.
.The outside light is brightenough that high-beamheadlamps are not required.
.The vehicle's speed drops below20 km/h (12 mph).
.The IntelliBeam system isdisabled by the high/low-beamchanger or the flash-to-passfeature. If this happens, the high/low-beam changer must beactivated two times withintwo seconds to reactivate theIntelliBeam system. Theinstrument cluster light will comeon to indicate the IntelliBeam isreactivated. SeeHeadlampHigh/Low-Beam Changer0173andFlash-to-Pass0174.
The high beams may not turn offautomatically if the system cannotdetect another vehicle's lampsbecause of any of the following:
.The other vehicle's lamps aremissing, damaged, obstructedfrom view, or otherwiseundetected.
.The other vehicle's lamps arecovered with dirt, snow, and/orroad spray.
.The other vehicle's lamps cannotbe detected due to denseexhaust, smoke, fog, snow, roadspray, mist, or other airborneobstructions.
.The vehicle's windshield is dirty,cracked, or obstructed bysomething that blocks the viewof the light sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such thatthe front end points upward,causing the light sensor to aimhigh and not detect headlampsand taillamps.
.Driving on winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beamheadlamps may need to be disabledif any of the above conditions exist.

The exterior lamps turn offimmediately by turning the exteriorlamps control off.
This feature can be changed. SeeVehicle Personalization0160.
Battery Load
Management
The vehicle has Electric PowerManagement (EPM), whichestimates the battery's temperatureand state of charge. It then adjuststhe voltage for best performanceand extended life of the battery.
When the battery's state of chargeis low, the voltage is raised slightlyto quickly bring the charge back up.When the state of charge is high,the voltage is lowered slightly toprevent overcharging. The voltmetergauge or the voltage display on theDriver Information Center (DIC),if equipped, may show the voltage
moving up or down. This is normal.If there is a problem, an alert will bedisplayed.
The battery can be discharged atidle if the electrical loads are veryhigh. This is true for all vehicles.This is because the generator(alternator) may not be spinning fastenough at idle to produce all thepower that is needed for very highelectrical loads.
Ahighelectricalloadoccurswhenseveral of the following are on, suchas: headlamps, high beams, foglamps, rear window defogger,climate control fan at high speed,heated seats, engine cooling fans,trailer loads, and loads plugged intoaccessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessivedischarge of the battery. It does thisby balancing the generator's outputand the vehicle's electrical needs.It can increase engine idle speed togenerate more power, wheneverneeded. It can temporarily reducethe power demands of someaccessories.
