WARNING: Do not use the system in
poor visibility, for example fog, heavy rain,
spray or snow.

Activating the Automatic High Beam Control
Switch the lighting control to
the
autolamps position.
Note: The lighting control defaults to
autolamps each time you switch your vehicle
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 (51 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.
