If equipped, this system turns
the high-beam headlamps on
and off according to

bAuto High Beams
when the headlights are set in
the Auto 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 speed drops
below 20 km/h (12 mph).
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 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.

Adaptive Headlight
System
If equipped, the Adaptive
Headlight system allows the
high-beam headlamps to
function as the main driving
light at night.
The system turns on all the
high-beam headlamp LED
segments when it is dark
enough and there is no other
traffic present.

bAuto High Beams
when the headlights are set in
the Auto position.
Driving with Adaptive
Headlight System
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 that
automatically detects the
lights of oncoming and
preceding vehicles. Keep this
area of the windshield clear of
debris to allow for best
system performance.
The headlamp high-beam
alters according to the traffic
situation, preventing high
beam light from glaring
towards oncoming or
preceding traffic. This gives
the best light distribution
without glaring other road
users. The Adaptive Headlight
system remains on until one of
the following situations
occurs:
.The fog lamps are turned on.
.The system detects a
preceding vehicle’s taillamps.
.The vehicle speed drops
below approximately

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.
