Ford Edge (2018 year). Manual — part 21

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL

(If Equipped)

WARNING

The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention. You may need to

override the system if it does not turn the
high beams on or off.

The system turns on high beams if it is dark
enough and no other traffic is present. If it
detects an approaching vehicle’s
headlamps or tail lamps, or street lighting
ahead, the system turns off high beams
before they can distract other road users.
Low beams remain on.

Note: The system may not operate properly
if the sensor is blocked. Keep the windshield
free from obstruction or damage.

Note: The system may not operate properly
in cold or inclement conditions. You can
switch on the high beams by overriding the
system.

Note: If the system detects a blockage, for
example bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, the system goes into low beam mode
until you clear the blockage. A message may
appear in the information display if the
camera is blocked.

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 turn
the high beams on and off.

Once the system is active, the high beams
turn on if:
•

The ambient light level is low enough.

•

There is no traffic in front of your
vehicle.

•

The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 32 mph (51 km/h).

The high beams turn off if:
•

The ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required.

•

The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps.

•

The vehicle speed falls below
approximately 27 mph (44 km/h).

•

The system detects severe rain, snow
or fog.

•

The camera is blocked.

Switching the System On and Off

Switch the system on using the information
display. See Information Displays (page
102).
