104 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE SmartBeams - If Equipped The SmartBeam system provides increased forward lighting at night by automating high beam control through the use of a digital camera mounted on the inside rearview mirror. This camera detects vehicle specific light and automatically switches from high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view. To Activate 1. Select "Automatic High Beams - ON" with the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to "EVIC - Personal Settings" in Section 4 of this manual for details. 2. Rotate the headlight switch counter-clockwise to the AUTO (A) position. 3. Push the Multi-Function Lever away from you to switch the headlights to HIGH BEAM position. NOTE: This system will not activate until the vehicle is at or above 25 mph (40 km/h). To Deactivate Perform either of the following steps to deactivate the SmartBeam system. 1. Pull the Multi-Function Lever towards you to switch the headlights from the HIGH BEAM to the LOW BEAM position. 2. Rotate the headlight switch clockwise from the AUTO (A) to the ON position. NOTE: Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and taillights of vehicles in the field of view will cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other obstructions on the windshield or camera lens will cause the system to function improperly. Daytime Running Lights (Canada Only) The high beam headlights will come on as Daytime Running Lights whenever the ignition switch is on, the headlights are off, and the parking brake is off. The headlight switch must be used for normal night time driving.
