Illuminate Your Drive with IntelliBeam Automatic Headlamp Control!

Hey, car enthusiasts and everyday drivers! Ever heard of IntelliBeam Automatic Headlamp Control? It’s a cool feature that can automatically control your vehicle’s high beams based on the traffic conditions around you. If you have this feature in your vehicle, let’s dive into how to use it and make your drives safer and more comfortable!

What is IntelliBeam?

IntelliBeam is like a smart assistant for your car’s high beams. When you’re driving above 25 mph, it can turn your high beams on and off by itself, depending on the traffic around you. This means no more manual switching between high and low beams when another car approaches!

How to Enable IntelliBeam

Using IntelliBeam is super easy! Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:

1. Start Your Vehicle

   Make sure your vehicle’s engine is running, and the headlamps are on.

2. Set the Headlamp Control

   Turn the headlamp control knob to Auto or turn on the low beam headlamps.

3. Neutral Position for Turn Signal Lever

   Keep the turn signal lever in the neutral position.

4. Activate IntelliBeam

   Depending on your car, you might activate IntelliBeam by pressing a button on your turn signal lever, pushing the lever forward and back to neutral, or using your car’s infotainment system. Some cars even have a Virtual Controls app where you can tap Lights and turn on Auto High Beams to engage IntelliBeam.

5. Look for the Green “A” Icon

   When you see a green “A” icon on your instrument panel, you’ll know IntelliBeam is working!

Driving with IntelliBeam

Once IntelliBeam is on, it’ll keep your high beams on until it detects another vehicle’s headlamps or taillamps, the exterior lighting is bright enough, your speed drops below 12 mph, or you use the turn signal lever or the Flash-to-Pass feature.

What if Conditions Aren’t Great?

Sometimes, IntelliBeam might not turn off the high beams automatically. This can happen if it can’t see the other vehicle’s lamps because they’re dirty, damaged, blocked by something, or if your windshield is dirty or cracked. It might also struggle on winding or hilly roads or if your vehicle is loaded in a way that makes the front end point upward.

Pro Tip

For the best performance from IntelliBeam, keep the top center area of your windshield clear of debris.

Conclusion

IntelliBeam Automatic Headlamp Control is a handy feature that makes driving at night or in low-light conditions safer and more convenient. It’s easy to use and can help you focus more on the road. So, next time you’re out for a drive, let IntelliBeam light the way for you!
