Cadillac 2009 owner manual

•The vehicle’s speed drops below 15 mph (24 km/h).

•The headlamp stalk is moved forward to the high-beam position. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-7.

When either of these conditions occur, the IntelliBeam® feature will be disabled and the IntelliBeam® light in the mirror will turn off until the high-beam stalk is returned to the neutral position.

•If IntelliBeam® was using low-beams prior to this action, the IntelliBeam® feature will be temporarily disabled until the stalk is returned to the neutral position.

•The exterior lamp control is turned to any setting except AUTO.

When this occurs, IntelliBeam® will be disabled until the control is turned back to the AUTO position.

•The IntelliBeam® system is turned off at the inside rearview mirror.

IntelliBeam® may not turn off the high-beams if the system cannot detect other vehicle’s lamps because of any of the following:

•The others vehicle’s lamp(s) are missing, damaged, obstructed from view or otherwise undetected.

•The other vehicle’s lamp(s) are covered with dirt, snow and/or road spray.

•The other vehicle’s lamp(s) cannot be detected due to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist or other airborne obstructions.

•Your vehicle’s windshield is dirty, cracked or obstructed by something that blocks the view of the IntelliBeam light sensor.

•Your vehicle’s windshield is covered with ice, dirt, haze or other obstructions.

•Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end of the vehicle points upward, causing the IntelliBeam sensor to aim high and not detect headlamps and taillamps.

•You are driving on winding or hilly roads.

You may need to manually disable or cancel the high-beam headlamps by turning the low-beam headlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist.
