Automatic High-Beam System
This system turns the vehicle's
high-beam headlamps on and off
according to surrounding traffic
conditions.
The system turns the high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark
enough and there is no other traffic
present.
This light comes on in the
instrument cluster when the
automatic high-beam system is
enabled.
Turning On and Enabling
Automatic High Beams
To enable the automatic high-beam
system, with the turn signal/lane
change lever in the neutral position,
turn the exterior lamp control to
AUTO. The blue high-beam on light
appears on the instrument cluster
when the high beams are on.
Driving with Automatic High
Beams
The system only activates the high
beams when driving over 40 km/h
(25 mph).
There is a sensor near the top
center of the windshield that
automatically controls the system.
Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
The high-beam headlamps remain
on, under the automatic control,
until one 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
20 km/h (12 mph).
