Lighting Note: Typical road dust, dirt and water spots do not affect the performance of the automatic high beam control. However, in cold or inclement weather conditions, you may notice a decrease in the availability of the automatic high beam control, especially at start up. If you want to change the beam state independently of the system, you may switch the high beams on or off using the lighting control switch. Automatic high beam control resumes when conditions are correct. 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. A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind the windshield of your vehicle, continuously monitors conditions to decide when to switch the high beams off and on. Once the system is active, the high beams switch on if: • The outside light level is low enough. • There is no traffic in front of your vehicle. • The vehicle speed is greater than 32 mph (52 km/h). The high beams switch off if: • The system detects the headlamps of an approaching vehicle or the rear lamps vehicle in front of you. • Vehicle speed falls below 27 mph (44 km/h). • The outside light level is high enough that high beams are not required. • The system detects severe rain, snow or fog. • The camera is blocked. Activating the System Switch on automatic high beam control using the information display and autolamps. See Information Displays (page 105). E142451 Switch the lighting control to the autolamps position. Manually Overriding the System When automatic high beam control has activated the high beams, pushing or pulling the stalk provides a temporary override to low beam. Use the information display menu to permanently deactivate the system, or switch the lighting control from autolamps to headlamps.
