Note: Typical road dust, dirt and water spots
will not affect the performance of the
automatic high beam system. However, in
cold or inclement weather conditions, you
will notice a decrease in the availability of
the high beam system, especially at start up.
If you want to change the beam state
independently of the automatic control, you
may switch the high beams on or off using
the lever. Automatic control will resume
when conditions are correct.
Note: Modification of the vehicle ride height
such as using much larger tires, may
degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind
the windshield of your vehicle, continuously
monitors conditions to decide when to turn
the high beams off and on.
Once the system is active, the high beams
will turn on if:
The ambient light level is low enough.
There is no traffic in front of the vehicle.
The vehicle speed is greater than 32 mph
(52 km/h).
The high beams will turn off if:
The system detects the headlamps of an
approaching vehicle or the tail lamps of
a preceding vehicle.
Vehicle speed falls below 27 mph
(44 km/h).
The ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required.
The system detects severe rain, snow or
fog.
The camera is blocked.
Activating the System
Switch on the system using the information
display and autolamps. See Information
Displays (page 108).
Switch the lighting control to the autolamps
position. See Autolamps (page 90).
Manually Overriding the System
E167827
When the automatic control has activated
the high beams, pushing or pulling the stalk
will provide a temporary override to low
beam.
Use the information display menu to
permanently deactivate the system, or switch
the lighting control from autolamps to
headlamps.
