If you turn the headlights off before the ignition, they will
turn off in the normal manner.
NOTE: The lights must be turned off within 45 seconds
of placing the ignition in the OFF position to activate this
feature.
The headlight delay time is programmable on vehicles
equipped with the EVIC. Refer to “Delay Turning Head-
lights Off,” under “Personal Settings (Customer-Pro-

mation Center (EVIC)” in Section 4.
SmartBeam™ — If Equipped
The SmartBeam™ system provides increased forward
lighting at night by automating high beam control
through the use of a digital camera mounted on the

cific light and automatically switches from high beams to
low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.

EVIC. Refer to “Automatic High Beams,” under “Per-
sonal Settings (Customer-Programmable Features)” un-
der “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in

2. Rotate the headlight switch counterclockwise to the A
(AUTO) position.
3. Push the multifunction lever away from you to switch
the headlights to the high beam position. Refer to “Mul-
tifunction Lever” in this section.
NOTE: This system will not activate until the vehicle is
at or above 25 mph (40 km/h).
