Automatic High Beam Control

WHAT IS AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL
The system turns on high beams if it is dark enough and no other traffic is present. If it detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead, the system turns the high beams off. Low beams remain on.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind the windshield of your vehicle, continuously monitors conditions to turn the high beams on and off.

SWITCHING AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL ON AND OFF 
WARNING: Do not use the system in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy rain, spray or snow.

1. Press Settings.
2. Press Vehicle.
3. Press Lighting.

Activating the Automatic High Beam Control
Switch the lighting control to the auto lamps position. See Autolamps (page 84).
Note: The lighting control defaults to auto lamps each time you switch your vehicle on.
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 (51 km/h).
  When active, the high beams turn off if any of the following occur:
• The ambient light level is high enough that the system 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 there is 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 there is a blocked camera, a message may appear in the information display.
  Note: Using much larger tires or adding vehicle accessories such as snowplows can modify your vehicle’s ride height and degrade automatic high beam control performance.

OVERRIDING AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL
WARNING: The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. You may need to override the system if it does not turn the high beams on or off.
WARNING: You may need to override the system when approaching other road users.
WARNING: You may need to override the system during inclement weather.
