Troubleshooting
If the automatic high beam camera becomes blocked, the high beams will
not come on automatically. They will only activate when they are
manually turned on with the multi-function lever.
Typical road dust, dirt and water spots will not affect the automatic high
beam system’s performance.
For significant blockages (e.g. bird dropping, bug splatter, snow, or ice),
the automatic high beam system uses a blocked sensor computer
program. If it detects a blockage, it will be monitored for two minutes. If
no changes are observed, the system will go into low beam mode until
the blockage is cleared.
If it appears that automatic control of the high beams is not functioning,
check the windshield in front of the camera for blockage.

Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped)
To activate:
• the ignition must be in the on position,
• the headlamp control must be in the off, autolamps or parking lamp
position and
• the transmission must be out of the P (Park) position.
WARNING: Always remember to turn on your headlamps at
dusk or during inclement weather. The Daytime Running Lamp
(DRL) system does not activate the tail lamps and generally may not
provide adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate
your headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.
