Driving with Intellibeam™
Intellibeam™ will only activate your high-beams when
driving over 20 mph (32 km/h).
The high-beam headlamps will remain on, under the
control of Intellibeam™, until any of the following
situations occur:
• The system detects an approaching vehicle’s
headlamps.
• The system detects a preceding vehicle’s taillamps.
• The outside light is bright enough that high-beam
headlamps are not required.
• The high-beam headlamps are manually turned on
or you use the flash-to-pass feature. See Headlamp
High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8 and
Flash-to-Pass on page 3-12.
When either of these conditions occur, the
Intellibeam™ feature will be temporarily disabled
until the high-beam stalk is returned to the neutral
position. If either of these conditions occur and
Intellibeam™ already has the high-beam headlamps
on, the Intellibeam™ feature will be disabled and
the Intellibeam™ light in the mirror will turn off.
• 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
and the AUTOMATIC LIGHTS ON message is
displayed on the DIC.
• The Intellibeam™ system is turned off at the inside
rearview mirror.
• The vehicle’s speed drops below 15 mph (24 km/h).
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.
