WHAT IS AUTOMATIC HIGH
BEAM CONTROL
The system turns on high beams if it is dark
enough and no other traffic is present. If it
detects an approaching vehicle’s
headlamps or tail lamps, or street lighting
ahead, the system turns the high beams
off. Low beams remain on.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions to turn
the high beams on and off.

BEAM CONTROL ON AND OFF
WARNING: Do not use the system
in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy
rain, spray or snow.

Activating the Automatic High
Beam Control
E281240
Switch the lighting control to the
autolamps position. See
Autolamps (page 88).
Note: The lighting control defaults to
autolamps each time you switch your
vehicle on.
When active, the high beams turn on if all
of the following occur:
• The ambient light level is low enough.
• There is no traffic in front of your
vehicle.
• The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 32 mph (51 km/h).
When active, the high beams turn off if any
of the following occur:
• The ambient light level is high enough
that the system does not require high
beams.
• The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps.
• The system detects severe rain, snow
or fog.
• The camera is blocked.
• The vehicle speed falls below
approximately 27 mph (44 km/h).
Note: The deactivation speed is lower on
curves.
Note: There could be a delay in high beam
reactivation in certain curvy road situations.
Note: If there is a blocked sensor, the
system may not operate properly. Keep the
windshield free from obstruction or damage.
Note: The system may not operate properly
in cold or inclement conditions. You can
switch on the high beams by overriding the
system.
Note: If the system detects a blockage, for
example bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, the system goes into low beam mode
until you clear the blockage. If there is a
blocked camera, a message may appear in
the information display.
Note: Using much larger tires or adding
vehicle accessories such as snowplows can
modify your vehicle's ride height and
degrade automatic high beam control
performance.
