Deactivating high beams
The automatic high beams will deactivate if any of the following events
occur:
•
An approaching vehicle’s headlights or a preceding vehicle’s tail lamps
are detected.
•
The headlamp control is moved out of the autolamps position.
•
The vehicle speed falls below 27 mph (43 km/h).
•
The ambient light level is high enough that high beams are not
needed.
•
Severe rain, snow or fog is detected.
•
The camera is blocked.
Note:
Activating the multi-function lever will put the headlamps in
manual high beam mode (constant or flash-to-pass) until the lever is
returned to the neutral position. To manually override the auto high
beam and go to low beam, the headlamp control must be taken out of
the
(autolamp) position. For severe fog on freeways, or severe fog
in low traffic situations, use of fog lamps is recommended.
Setting auto high beam sensitivity
The automatic high beam system has two sensitivity settings. The default
setting is near. If you would like the high beams to turn off when traffic
is further away, the sensitivity setting can be changed to far. The
procedure is as follows:
Preconditions:
•
Vehicle is at a stop.
•
Ignition is in the on position.
•
The headlamp control is in the
position.
•
High-beams are off.
Programming Sequence:
1. Turn the headlamp control from
(on) to
(autolamp) three
times within two seconds, ending in
(on).
2. Cycle flash-to-pass three times using the multi-function lever.
3. The high beams will flash momentarily to confirm that the sensitivity
setting has been changed.
