This system performs two functions. With the engine
running and the multifunction lever in the AUTO posi-
tion, the headlights will turn on and off based on the
surrounding light levels.

Headlights On Automatically With Wipers

If your vehicle is equipped with Automatic Headlights it
also has this customer-programmable feature. When
your headlights are in the AUTO position, and the engine
is running, they will automatically turn on when the
wiper system is on. Refer to “Headlamps On with
Wipers” under “Electronic Vehicle Information (EVIC) —
Customer-Programmable Features” in Section 4.

If your vehicle is equipped with a “Rain Sensitive Wiper
System,” and it is activated, the headlights will automati-
cally turn on after the wipers complete five wipe cycles
within approximately one minute, and they will turn off

approximately four minutes after the wipers completely
stop. Refer to “Windshield Wipers and Washers” in this
section for more information.

NOTE:

When your headlights come on during the

daytime, the instrument panel lights will automatically
dim to the lower nighttime intensity. Refer to “Instru-
ment Panel and Interior Lights” below for setting the
instrument panel lights to full daytime intensity.

SmartBeam™ — 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 spe-
cific light and automatically switches from high beams to
low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.
