IntelliBeam™ Intelligent High-Beam
Headlamp Control System
If your vehicle has this feature, be sure to read
this entire section before using it.
IntelliBeam™ is an enhancement to the vehicle’s
headlamp system. Using a digital light sensor
located on the back of the rearview mirror,
this system turns the high-beam headlamps on
and off according to surrounding traffic conditions.
The IntelliBeam™ system turns the high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark enough, there is no
other traffic present, and the IntelliBeam™
system is enabled.
Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam™
AUTO 3 (IntelliBeam™ On/Off): Press
and release the IntelliBeam™ button on the inside
rear view mirror. The IntelliBeam™ indicator on
the mirror turns on. Once the system has
been turned on, it remains on each time the
vehicle is started. Additionally, the IntelliBeam™
system must be enabled.
To enable the IntelliBeam™ System, turn the
exterior lamp control to AUTO, with the turn
signal/multifunction lever in its neutral position.
The High-Beam On Light appears on the
instrument panel cluster when the high-beams are
on. See Highbeam On Light on page 257. Your
vehicle has variable intensity high-beams.
The high-beam indicator on the instrument panel
cluster comes on as soon as the high-beams
start to come on, and remains on until the
high-beams have completely turned off. All
vehicles that have IntelliBeam™, however, quickly
turn off the high-beams if the system detects
the sudden presence of vehicle lights ahead.
Driving with IntelliBeam™
IntelliBeam™ only activates the high-beams when
driving over 20 mph (32 km/h).
The high-beam headlamps remain on, under the
control of IntelliBeam™, until any of the following
situations occur:
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.
