The automatic high-beam
system can be disabled by the
High/Low-Beam Changer or the
Flash-to-Pass feature. If this
happens, the High/Low-Beam
Changer must be activated two
times within five seconds to
reactivate the automatic
high-beam system. The
instrument cluster light will come
on to indicate the automatic
high-beam system is reactivated.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot
detect other vehicle's lamps
because of any of the following:
.
The other 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 light sensor.
.
Your vehicle's windshield is
covered with ice, dirt, haze,
or other obstructions.
.
Your vehicle is loaded such that
the front end points upward,
causing the light sensor to aim
high and not detect headlamps
and taillamps.
.
You are driving on winding or
hilly roads.
You may need to manually disable
or cancel the high-beam headlamps
by turning the low-beam headlamps
on, if any of the above conditions
exist.
This feature can be turned on or off
or the sensitivity can be changed in
vehicle personalization. See
Vehicle
Personalization on page 5-42
