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.

Beam Control

E281240

Switch the lighting control to the
autolamps position. See

Autolamps

(page 88).

Note:

The lighting control defaults to

autolamps each time you switch your
vehicle on.

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

The ambient light level is low enough.

•

There is no traffic in front of your
vehicle.

•

The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 32 mph (51 km/h).

When active, the high beams turn off if any
of the following occur:
•

The ambient light level is high enough
that the system does not require high
beams.

•

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

•

The system detects severe rain, snow
or fog.

•

The camera is blocked.

•

The vehicle speed falls below
approximately 27 mph (44 km/h).

Note:

The deactivation speed is lower on

curves.

Note:

There could be a delay in high beam

reactivation in certain curvy road situations.

Note:

If there is 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 there is a
blocked camera, a message may appear in
the information display.

Note:

Using much larger tires or adding

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