WHAT IS AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL

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 the high beams off. Low beams
remain on.

A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind
the windshield of your vehicle, continuously
monitors conditions to turn the high beams
on and off.

SWITCHING AUTOMATIC HIGH
BEAM CONTROL ON AND OFF

Switch the system on or off using the
information display. See General
Information (page 117).

Activating the Automatic High Beam
Control

Switch the lighting control to the
autolamps position to activate.
See Autolamps (page 98).

Note: Automatic high beams are not
available when autolamps are not turned
on.

When 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 (52 km/h).

When active, 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 system detects severe rain, snow or
fog.

•

The camera is blocked.

•

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

Note: The deactivation speed is lower on
curves.

Note: High beam reactivation may be
delayed in certain curvy road situations.

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.
