Intelligent High-Beam

Headlamp Control System

For vehicles with 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 on
the rearview mirror, this system turns the vehicle's
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.

Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam

Press and release the IntelliBeam button on the inside
rear view mirror. The IntelliBeam indicator on the mirror
turns on to indicate the system is on. Once the system
has been turned on, it remains on each time the vehicle
is started, but 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. The High-Beam On Light appears
on the instrument panel cluster when the high-beams
are on. See Highbeam On Light on page 4‑56.
