Intelligent High-Beam
Headlamp Control System
For vehicles with 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 on the
rearview mirror, this system turns the vehicle's
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
Press and release the IntelliBeam button on the inside
rear view mirror. The IntelliBeam indicator on the mirror
turns on to indicate the system is on. Once the system
has been turned on, it remains on each time the vehicle
is started, but 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 4‑58.
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
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 or the flash-to-pass feature is
used. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
on
page 4‑6
and Flash-to-Pass
on page 4‑10
.
When either of these conditions occur, the
IntelliBeam feature is disabled and the IntelliBeam
light in the mirror turns 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 is temporarily
disabled until the stalk is returned to the neutral
position.
