Activating the Automatic High Beam Control
Switch the lighting control to the autolamps position to activate. See
Autolamps.
Note:
Automatic high beams are not available when you do not turn on autolamps.
When active, the high beams turn on if all of the following occur:
- 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 any of the following occur:
- The ambient light level is high enough that it does not require high beams.
- 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:
There could be a delay in high beam reactivation in certain curvy road situations.
Note:
If you have a blocked sensor, the system may not operate properly. 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. If you have a blocked camera, a message may appear in the information display.
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.
