Once the system has been turned on, it will remain on each time the vehicle is started. Additionally, the IntelliBeam® system must be enabled.

To enable the IntelliBeam® system, turn the exterior lamp control to AUTO, with the turn signal/multifunction lever in its neutral position. The High-Beam On Light will appear on the instrument panel cluster when the high-beams are on. See Highbeam On Light on page 3-40.

•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.
