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.

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

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

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.

310 Driving and Operating
Cleaning the System
If FPB does not seem to
operate properly, cleaning the
outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror
may correct the issue.
Night Vision System
If equipped, this system can
help the driver see and alert
the driver to pedestrians or
large animals ahead of the
vehicle beyond the area lit by
the headlamps. A thermal heat
image of the view ahead is
displayed when it is dark
enough outside. If a pedestrian
or large animal is detected
more than 25 m (82 ft) away,
an amber pedestrian or animal
icon displays and a box
appears around the
pedestrian or animal. When
the system detects that the
vehicle is approaching a
pedestrian ahead too quickly,
the box changes to red.With the Front Pedestrian
Braking system turned on,
Night Vision provides a red
Head-Up Display (HUD) alert
when the system detects that
the vehicle is approaching a
pedestrian ahead too quickly.
In addition, an alert beeps or
the Safety Alert Seat pulses,
if equipped. See Front
Pedestrian Braking (FPB)
System0307.
{Warning
The system does not detect
all objects or the vehicle
distance from objects. The
system may not provide a
warning with enough time to
help avoid a crash.
