Activating the Automatic High Beam Control
Switch the lighting control to
the
autolamps position.
Note: The lighting control defaults to
autolamps each time you switch your vehicle
on.
When active, the high beams turn on if:
- The ambient light level is low enough.
- There is no traffic in front of your vehicle.
- The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 32 mph (51 km/h).
When active, the high beams turn off if:
- The ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required.
- The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps.
- The system detects severe rain, snow or
fog.
- The camera is blocked.
- The vehicle speed falls below
approximately 27 mph (44 km/h).
Note: The deactivation speed is lower on
curves.
Note: High beam reactivation may be
delayed in certain curvy road situations.
Note: The system may not operate properly
if the sensor is blocked. Keep the windshield
free from obstruction or damage.
Note: The system may not operate properly
in cold or inclement conditions. You can
switch on the high beams by overriding the
system.
Note: If the system detects a blockage, for
example bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, the system goes into low beam mode
until you clear the blockage. A message may
appear in the information display if the
camera is blocked.
Note: Using much larger tires or equipping
vehicle accessories such as snowplows can
modify your vehicle's ride height and
degrade automatic high beam control
performance.
What Is Automatic High Beam Control
The system turns on high beams if it is dark
enough and no other traffic is present. If it
detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps
or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead, the
system turns the high beams off...
Automatic High Beam Control Indicators
