IntelliBeam may not turn off the high-beams if the
system cannot detect other vehicle's lamps because of
any of the following:
. The others 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.

IntelliBeam can be disabled and reset to the original
