Cadillac 2009 Escalade EXT - Manual (Page 175)

• The vehicle’s speed drops below 15 mph (24 km/h).
• The headlamp stalk is moved forward to the
high-beam position. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam
Changer on page 3-7.
When either of these conditions occur, the
IntelliBeam
® feature will be disabled and the
IntelliBeam ® light in the mirror will turn off until the
high-beam stalk is returned to the neutral position.
• If IntelliBeam ® was using low-beams prior to
this action, the IntelliBeam ® feature will be
temporarily disabled until the stalk is returned
to the neutral position.
• The exterior lamp control is turned to any setting
except AUTO.
When this occurs, IntelliBeam ® will be disabled until
the control is turned back to the AUTO position.
• The IntelliBeam ® system is turned off at the inside
rearview mirror.
IntelliBeam ® may not turn off the high-beams if the
system cannot detect other vehicle’s lamps because of
any of the following:
• The others vehicle’s lamp(s) are missing, damaged,
obstructed from view or otherwise undetected.
• The other vehicle’s lamp(s) are covered with dirt,
snow and/or road spray.
• The other vehicle’s lamp(s) cannot be detected due
to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road spray,
mist or other airborne obstructions.
• Your vehicle’s windshield is dirty, cracked or
obstructed by something that blocks the view of the
IntelliBeam light sensor.
• Your vehicle’s windshield is covered with ice, dirt,
haze or other obstructions.
• Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end of the
vehicle points upward, causing the IntelliBeam
sensor to aim high and not detect headlamps and
taillamps.
• You are driving on winding or hilly roads.
You may need to manually disable or cancel the
high-beam headlamps by turning the low-beam
headlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist.
