IntelliBeam System
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.
This light
bcomes on in the
instrument cluster when the
IntelliBeam system is enabled.
Turning On and Enabling
IntelliBeam
To enable the IntelliBeam
system, press the end of the
turn signal lever when it is
dark outside and the exterior
lamp control is in AUTO or
2.
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 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 end of
the turn signal lever when
the exterior lamp control is
in the AUTO or
2position to
reactivate the IntelliBeam
system. The instrument
cluster light will come on to
indicate the IntelliBeam
system 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.

334 Driving and Operating
1. Low-Beam Headlamps
2. High-Beam Headlamps
3. Night Vision System
By selecting a view on the
instrument cluster, the Night
Vision image can be displayed.
See Instrument Cluster0127.
The Night Vision system can
operate only if:
.The ignition is on.
.The vehicle is in P (Park) or a
forward gear.
.It is dark enough outside.
.The headlamps are on,
except when parked. Adjust the instrument panel
brightness to make the image
no brighter than necessary.
Turn the image off by
selecting another view on the
instrument cluster.
Warm objects, such as
pedestrians, animals, and
other moving vehicles, should
appear whiter on the Night
Vision display. Cold objects,
such as the sky, signs, and
parked vehicles, should appear
darker. Night Vision only
shows objects that are
warmer or colder than the
surroundings. It does not
detect brake lamps, turn
signals, emergency flashers,
traffic lights, or sign
information.
Use this system as an aid by
occasionally glancing at the
image. Do not stare at the
image or use the image under
well-lit conditions.
{Warning
Do not stare at the image
while driving as this might
cause important objects
ahead not to be seen. You
could crash, and you or
others could be injured.
When a pedestrian or large
animal is detected, an amber
box displays around the
pedestrian or animal on the
Night Vision display and an
amber pedestrian icon,
~,
or animal icon,
!, displays on
the instrument cluster. This
pedestrian icon is also shown
on the Head-Up Display (HUD).
When the system detects the
vehicle is approaching a
pedestrian too quickly, the
amber pedestrian icon and box
turns red, and a red flashing
icon,
~, displays on the HUD
with rapid beeping or pulsing
of the Safety Alert Seat,
if equipped.
