Auto High-Beam System
Automatically changes the low beam headlights to high beam headlights when
necessary.
How It Works
When you are driving at night above 35 mph (56 km/h) and the headlight lever is
in the low beam position with the switch rotated to AUTO, the system changes
between low and high beams depending on the surrounding conditions.

Your vehicle
Oncoming
vehicle
Vehicle ahead
of you
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you, the headlights stay in low beams. If the
system does not detect any vehicles ahead of you, the headlights change to high
beams.
Certain conditions, such as weather and brightness of other vehicles’ lights, can
affect system operation.
Turning the System On or Off
Make sure the headlight lever is in the low beam
position with the switch rotated to the AUTO
position. The auto high-beam system indicator
appears when the system is on.
The system is canceled temporarily when you
continuously drive at speeds below 25 mph (40
km/h), the vehicle speed is below 15 mph (24
km/h), or the windshield wipers run at high speed
for more than a few seconds.
To disable the system
: When the vehicle is on and parked, pull the headlight
lever towards you and hold it for 40 seconds. The auto high-beam indicator
blinks twice.
To re-enable the system
: When the vehicle is on and parked, pull the headlight
lever towards you and hold it for 30 seconds. The auto high-beam indicator
blinks once.
To temporarily cancel operation
, do either of the following:
• Flash the high beams by moving the lever toward you. Flash the high beams
again to resume auto high beam operation.
• Engage high beams by moving the lever into the high beam position. Return the
lever to the low beam position to resume auto high beam operation.
