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 3-72. 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).
