Automatic High Beam Headlamp
Control — If Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
system provides increased forward lighting at
night by automating high beam control through
the use of a digital camera mounted on the
inside rearview mirror. This camera detects
vehicle specific light and automatically switches
from high beams to low beams until the ap-
proaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
•
If your vehicle is equipped with a touch-
screen the Automatic High Beam Head-
lamp Control can be turned on or off
using the Uconnect® System. Refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
•
If your vehicle is not equipped with a touch-
screen the Automatic High Beam Headlamp
Control can be turned on or off using the
Electronic
Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID).
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)” or “Driver Information Dis-
play (DID)” in “Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information.
•
Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights
and taillights of vehicles in the field of
view will cause headlights to remain on
longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt,
film, and other obstructions on the wind-
shield or camera lens will cause the sys-
tem to function improperly.
•
To opt out of the Advanced Auto High-
Beam Sensitivity Control (default) and en-
ter Reduced High-Beam Sensitivity Con-
trol (not recommended), toggle highbeam
lever 6 full on/off cycles within 10 sec-
onds of ignition ON. System will return to
default setting upon ignition off.
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Head-
lamp Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must
be re-aimed to ensure proper performance. See
your local authorized dealer.
