Driving with IntelliBeam™
IntelliBeam™ only activates the high-beams when
driving over 20 mph (32 km/h).
The high-beam headlamps remain on, under the
automatic 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 vehicle’s speed drops below
15 mph (24 km/h).
• The headlamp stalk is moved forward to the
high-beam position or the flash-to-pass
feature is used. See Headlamp
High/Low-Beam Changer on page 161 and
Flash-to-Pass on page 165.
When either of these conditions occur, the
IntelliBeam™ feature is disabled and the
IntelliBeam™ light in the mirror turns 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 is
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™ is disabled
until the control is turned back to the
AUTO position.
• The IntelliBeam™ system is turned off at the
inside rearview mirror.
IntelliBeam™ might not turn off the high-beams if
the system cannot detect other vehicle’s lamps
because of any of the following:
• The other 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.
