•
The exterior lamp control is turned to any setting
except AUTO.
When this occurs, IntelliBeam™ is disabled until the
control is turned back to the AUTO position.
•
The IntelliBeam™ system is turned off at the inside
rearview mirror.
IntelliBeam™ might not turn off the high-beams if the
system cannot detect other vehicle’s lamps because of
any of the following:
•
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) are missing, damaged,
obstructed from view, or otherwise undetected.
•
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) are covered with dirt,
snow, and/or road spray.
•
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) cannot be detected due
to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road spray,
mist, or other airborne obstructions.
•
Your vehicle’s windshield is dirty, cracked, or
obstructed by something that blocks the view of the
IntelliBeam™ light sensor.
•
Your vehicle’s windshield is covered with ice, dirt,
haze, or other obstructions.
•
Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end of the
vehicle points upward, causing the IntelliBeam™
sensor to aim high and not detect headlamps
and taillamps.
•
You are driving on winding or hilly roads.
You might need to manually disable or cancel the
high-beam headlamps by turning the low-beam
headlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist.
Disabling and Resetting IntelliBeam™
at the Rearview Mirror
IntelliBeam™ can be disabled by using the controls
on the inside rearview mirror.
AUTO 3 (On/Off): Press this button on the inside
rearview mirror to disable the system. The IntelliBeam™
indicator turns off and does not come back on until
the IntelliBeam™ button is pressed again.
When IntelliBeam™ has turned on the high-beams,
pull or push the high-beam stalk. This will disable
IntelliBeam™. The IntelliBeam™ indicator on the mirror
turns off. To turn IntelliBeam™ back on, press the
IntelliBeam™ button on the mirror.
A different sensitivity setting is available for
dealer/retailer diagnostics. This is done by pushing and
holding this button for 20 seconds until the IntelliBeam™
indicator light flashes three times. If you accidentally
activate this, the vehicle’s setting automatically is reset
when the ignition is turned off and then on again.
