IntelliBeam™ Intelligent High-Beam
Headlamp Control System
If your vehicle has this feature, be sure to read this
entire section before using it.
IntelliBeam™ is an enhancement to the vehicle’s
headlamp system. Using a digital light sensor on the
rearview mirror, this system turns the vehicle’s high-beam
headlamps on and off according to surrounding traffic
conditions.
The IntelliBeam™ system turns the high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark enough, there is no other
traffic present, and the IntelliBeam system is enabled.
Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam™
Press and release the IntelliBeam™ button on the inside
rear view mirror. The IntelliBeam™ indicator on the mirror
turns on to indicate the system is on. Once the system
has been turned on, it remains on each time the vehicle
is started, but the IntelliBeam system must be enabled.
To enable the IntelliBeam™ system, turn the exterior
lamp control to AUTO, with the turn signal/multifunction
lever in its neutral position. The High-Beam On
Light appears on the instrument panel cluster when
the high-beams are on. See Highbeam On Light
on page 3-67.
Driving with IntelliBeam™
IntelliBeam™ only activates the high-beams when
driving over 20 mph (32 km/h).
The high-beam headlamps remain on, under the
automatic control of IntelliBeam™, until any of the
following situations occur:
•
The system detects an approaching vehicle’s
headlamps.
•
The system detects a preceding vehicle’s taillamps.
•
The outside light is bright enough that high-beam
headlamps are not required.
•
The vehicle’s speed drops below 15 mph (24 km/h).
•
The headlamp stalk is moved forward to the
high-beam position or the flash-to-pass feature is
used. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
on page 3-9 and Flash-to-Pass on page 3-13.
When either of these conditions occur, the
IntelliBeam™ feature is disabled and the
IntelliBeam™ light in the mirror turns off until the
high-beam stalk is returned to the neutral position.
•
If IntelliBeam™ was using low-beams prior to this
action, the IntelliBeam™ feature is temporarily
disabled until the stalk is returned to the neutral
position.
