GENERAL INFORMATION

Condensation in the Exterior Front
Lamps and Rear Lamps

Exterior front lamps and rear lamps have
vents to accommodate normal changes in
air pressure.

Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is a
possibility that condensation can occur when
the temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a fine mist can form on
the interior of the lens. The fine mist
eventually clears and exits through the vents
during normal operation.

Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:

•

The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).

•

A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.

Examples of unacceptable condensation are:

•

A water puddle inside the lamp.

•

Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.

WHAT IS AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL

The system turns on high beams if it is dark
enough and no other traffic is present. If it
detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps
or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead, the
system turns the high beams off. Low beams
remain on.

A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind
the windshield of your vehicle, continuously
monitors conditions to turn the high beams
on and off.

SWITCHING AUTOMATIC HIGH
BEAM CONTROL ON AND OFF

WARNING: 

Do not use the system in

poor visibility, for example fog, heavy rain,
spray or snow.

Activating the Automatic High Beam
Control

E281240

Switch the lighting control to the
autolamps position.  See

Autolamps

 (page 112).

Note:

The lighting control defaults to

autolamps each time you switch your vehicle
on.

When active, the high beams turn on if all
the following conditions occur:

•

The ambient light level is low enough.

•

There is no traffic in front of your vehicle.

•

The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).

When active, the high beams turn off if at
least one of the following conditions occur:

•

The ambient light level is high enough
that you do not require high beams.

•

The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps.

•

The system detects severe rain, snow or
fog.

•

A blocked vehicle camera.

•

The vehicle speed falls below
approximately 19 mph (30 km/h).

Note:

The deactivation speed is lower on

curves.

Note:

Certain curvy road situations may

delay high beam reactivation.

Note:

If you have a blocked sensor, the

system may not operate properly. Keep the
windshield free from obstruction or damage.

Note:

The system may not operate properly

in cold or inclement conditions. You can
switch on the high beams by overriding the
system.

Note:

If the system detects a blockage, for

example bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, the system goes into low beam mode
until you clear the blockage. If you have a
blocked camera, a message may appear in
the information display.

Note:

Using much larger tires or equipping

vehicle accessories such as snowplows can
modify your vehicle's ride height and
degrade automatic high beam control
performance.
