Cadillac 2008 DTS Automobile User Manual


 
The exterior lamp control is turned to any setting
except AUTO.
When this occurs, IntelliBeam™ is disabled until the
control is turned back to the AUTO position.
The IntelliBeam™ system is turned off at the inside
rearview mirror.
IntelliBeam™ might not turn off the high-beams if the
system cannot detect other vehicle’s lamps because of
any of the following:
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) are missing, damaged,
obstructed from view, or otherwise undetected.
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) are covered with dirt,
snow, and/or road spray.
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) cannot be detected due
to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road spray,
mist, or other airborne obstructions.
Your vehicle’s windshield is dirty, cracked, or
obstructed by something that blocks the view of the
IntelliBeam™ light sensor.
Your vehicle’s windshield is covered with ice, dirt,
haze, or other obstructions.
Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end of the
vehicle points upward, causing the IntelliBeam™
sensor to aim high and not detect headlamps
and taillamps.
You are driving on winding or hilly roads.
You might need to manually disable or cancel the
high-beam headlamps by turning the low-beam
headlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist.
Disabling and Resetting IntelliBeam™
at the Rearview Mirror
IntelliBeam™ can be disabled by using the controls
on the inside rearview mirror.
AUTO 3(On/Off): Press this button on the inside
rearview mirror to disable the system. The IntelliBeam™
indicator turns off and does not come back on until
the IntelliBeam™ button is pressed again.
When IntelliBeam™ has turned on the high-beams,
pull or push the high-beam stalk. This will disable
IntelliBeam™. The IntelliBeam™ indicator on the mirror
turns off. To turn IntelliBeam™ back on, press the
IntelliBeam™ button on the mirror.
A different sensitivity setting is available for
dealer/retailer diagnostics. This is done by pushing and
holding this button for 20 seconds until the IntelliBeam™
indicator light flashes three times. If you accidentally
activate this, the vehicle’s setting automatically is reset
when the ignition is turned off and then on again.
