CondensationinLampAssemblies
Exterior lamps have vents to
accommodate normal changes in air
pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
fine mist eventually clears and exits

through the vents during normal operation.

Note: Typical road dust, dirt and water
spots do not affect the performance of the
automatic high beam control. However, in
cold or inclement weather conditions, you
may notice a decrease in the availability of

override autolamp control.
When switched off in the information
display, the daytime running lamps are off
in all lighting control switch positions.
Note: Modification of your vehicle ride
height such as using much larger tires, may
degrade feature performance.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL
A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions to decide
when to switch the high beams off and on.
The system automatically turns on the high
beams if it is dark enough and no other
traffic is present. When it detects the
headlights of an approaching vehicle, the
rear lamps of the preceding vehicle or
street lighting, the system turns off the high
beams before they distract other drivers.
The low beams remain on.
Note: If it appears that automatic high
beam is not functioning properly, check the
windshield in front of the camera for a
blockage. A clear view of the road is required
for proper system operation. Make sure that
authorized personnel repair any windshield
damage in the area of the camera's field of
view.
Note: If the system detects a blockage such
as bird droppings, bug splatter, snow or ice,
and you do not observe changes, the system
may go into low beam mode until you clear
the blockage. A message may also appear
in the information display noting the front
camera is blocked.
Once the system is active, the high beams
switch on if:
•
•
•
The ambient light level is low enough.
There is no traffic in front of the vehicle.
The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 32 mph (52 km/h).
The high beams turn off if:
•
The system detects the headlamps of
an approaching vehicle or the rear
lamps of a preceding vehicle.
•
•
•
•
Vehicle speed falls below
approximately 27 mph (44 km/h).
The ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required.
The system detects severe rain, snow
or fog.
The camera is blocked.
Activating the System
Switch the system on using the information
display. See InformationDisplays (page
91). Turn the switch to the autolamps
position. See Autolamps (page 76).
