Note: If it appears that automatic control of the high beams is not

functioning properly, check the windshield in front of the camera for

blockage. A clear view of the road is required for proper system

operation. Any windshield damage in the area of the camera field-of-view

should be repaired.

Note: If a blockage is detected (e.g. bird dropping, bug splatter, snow, or

ice) and no changes are observed, the system will go into low beam

mode until the blockage is cleared. A message may also appear in the

instrument cluster display noting the front camera is blocked.

Note: Typical road dust, dirt and water spots will not affect the

automatic high beam system’s performance. However, in cold or

inclement weather conditions, the automatic high beam system’s

availability may be decreased. If the driver wants to change the beam

state independently of the system, the driver may turn the high beams

ON or OFF using the multifunction switch stalk. Automatic control will

resume when conditions are correct.

Note: Modification of the vehicle ride height (e.g. using much larger

tires) may degrade feature performance.

A camera sensor is centrally mounted behind the windshield of the

vehicle, and monitors the conditions to decide when to switch the high

beams off and on.

Once the system is active the high beams will switch on if:

• The ambient light level is low enough that high beams are needed.

• There is no traffic in front of the vehicle.

• Vehicle speed must be greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).

• Severe weather is not detected.

The high beams will switch off if:

• An approaching vehicle’s headlights or a preceding vehicle’s tail lamps

are detected.

• The vehicle speed falls below 16 mph (25 km/h).

• The ambient light level is high enough that high beams are not

needed.

• Severe rain, snow or fog is detected.

• The camera is blocked.
