Driving with IntelliBeam
®
IntelliBeam
®
will only activate your high-beams when
driving over 20 mph (32 km/h).
The high-beam headlamps will remain on, under the
automatic 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.
• The vehicle’s speed drops below 15 mph (24 km/h).
• The headlamp stalk is moved forward to the
high-beam position. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam
Changer on page 3-9.
When either of these conditions occur, the
IntelliBeam
®
feature will be disabled and the
IntelliBeam
®
light in the mirror will turn off until the
high-beam stalk is returned to the neutral
position.
• If IntelliBeam
®
was using low-beams prior to this
action, the IntelliBeam
®
feature will be temporarily
disabled until the stalk is returned to the neutral
position.
• The exterior lamp control is turned to any setting
except AUTO.
When this occurs, IntelliBeam
®
will be disabled until
the control is turned back to the AUTO position.
• The IntelliBeam
®
system is turned off at the inside
rearview mirror.
IntelliBeam
®
may not turn off the high-beams if the
system cannot detect other vehicle’s lamps because of
any of the following:
• The others 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.
