Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam
To enable the IntelliBeam system,
press the button on the end of the
turn signal lever when the exterior
lamp control is in the AUTO or
2
position.
Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the high
beams when driving over 40 km/h
(25 mph).
The blue high-beam on light appears
on the instrument cluster when the
high beams are on.
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 button on the turn signal
lever. If this happens, press the
button on the end of the turn signal
lever when the exterior lamp
control is in the AUTO or
2
position 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 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 be
detected due to dense exhaust,
smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne obstructions.
.The vehicle's windshield is dirty,
cracked, or obstructed by something
that blocks the view of the light
sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such that the
front end points upward, causing
the light sensor to aim high and not
detect headlamps and taillamps.
.The vehicle is being driven on
winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beam headlamps
may need to be disabled if any of the
above conditions exist.

.Navigation Version
Maps
The Navigation application requires a
map database to run. It is stored on
an SD card that is connected to the
infotainment system. If the map
database is not available, a missing SD
card error message will be displayed.
SD Card Error Messages
The SD card only works for one
unique vehicle. The SD card must pass
authentication verification to be used
for that specific vehicle. If the SD card
has a switch that can be set to
read-only mode, ensure that it is in
the upward position and not in
read-only.
Potential error scenarios and
messages include:
.The SD card has initialized for the
first time:“Once initialized, this SD
card can only be used for navigation
in this vehicle.”
.The SD card is not working
properly: “SD card is not functioning
properly. (Error Code).”
.The SD card is not paired with the
existing system: “This SD card is not
valid in this vehicle for navigation.
See Owner’s Manual for more detail
or visit your dealer. (Error Code).”
.The SD card has been removed from
the slot: “SD card has been removed.
(Error Code).”
Touch Confirm to resume after the
initialization error message. For the
other messages, touch OK to return to

Lane Guidance
When available, the system will show
the best lane(s) to be in for the next
maneuver.
Cancel a Route
If a route is in progress using either
the vehicle navigation system or the
Turn-by-Turn route, and a new route
is requested, the current route in
progress will be canceled.
Global Positioning
System (GPS)
If equipped, the position of the vehicle
is determined by using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, and
map data.
At times, other interference such as
the satellite condition, road
configuration, condition of the vehicle,
and/or other circumstances can affect
the navigation system's ability to
determine the accurate position of the
vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position of
the vehicle using signals sent by GPS
satellites. When the vehicle is not
receiving signals from the satellites, a
symbol appears in the status bar.
This system might not be available or
interference can occur if any of the
following are true:
.Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks, or a
tunnel.
.Satellites are being repaired or
improved.For more information if the GPS is not
functioning properly, see
Problems
with Route Guidance 0168 and
If the System Needs Service 0168.
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicle
on the map could be inaccurate due to
one or more of the following reasons:
.The road system has changed.
.The vehicle is driving on slippery
road surfaces such as sand, gravel,
or snow.
.The vehicle is traveling on winding
roads or long, straight roads.
.The vehicle is approaching a tall
building or a large vehicle.
.The surface streets run parallel to a
freeway.
.The vehicle has been transferred by
a vehicle carrier or a ferry.
.The current position calibration is
set incorrectly.
.The vehicle is traveling at high
speed.
.The vehicle changes directions more
than once, or the vehicle is turning
on a turn table in a parking lot.
