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 located on the back of the rearview mirror, this system turns the 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. The High-Beam On Light appears on the instrument panel cluster when the high-beams are on. See Highbeam On Light on page 257. Your vehicle has variable intensity high-beams. The high-beam indicator on the instrument panel cluster comes on as soon as the high-beams start to come on, and remains on until the high-beams have completely turned off. All vehicles that have IntelliBeam™, however, quickly turn off the high-beams if the system detects the sudden presence of vehicle lights ahead. 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 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. Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam™ AUTO 3 (IntelliBeam™ On/Off): Press and release the IntelliBeam™ button on the inside rear view mirror. The IntelliBeam™ indicator on the mirror turns on. Once the system has been turned on, it remains on each time the vehicle is started. Additionally, 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. 213
