Lighting
Exterior front lamps and rear 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.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
Examples of unacceptable condensation are:
If you see any unacceptable condensation, have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.

AUTOLAMPS (If Equipped)
The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. You may need to
override the system if it does not turn the headlamps on in low visibility conditions, for example daytime fog.
The headlamps remain on for a period of time after you switch the ignition off. Use the information display controls to adjust the period of time that the headlamps remain on.
Note: If you switch the autolamps on, you cannot switch the high beams on until the system turns the low beams on.
When you switch the autolamps on, the headlamps turn on within 10 seconds of switching the wipers on. They turn off approximately 60 seconds after you switch the windshield wipers off.
The headlamps do not turn on with the wipers:
Note: If you switch the autolamps and the autowipers on, the headlamps turn on when the windshield wipers continuously operate.
Note: When disconnecting the battery or when it runs out of charge, the illuminated components turn to the maximum setting.

CONTROL (If Equipped)
The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. You may need to
override the system if it does not turn the high beams on or off.
The system turns on high beams if it is dark enough and no other traffic is present. If it detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead, the system turns off high beams before they can distract other road users. Low beams remain on.
Note: The system may not operate properly if the sensor is blocked. Keep the windshield free from obstruction or damage.
Note: The system may not operate properly in cold or inclement conditions. You can switch on the high beams by overriding the system.
Note: If the system detects a blockage, for example bird droppings, bug splatter, snow or ice, the system goes into low beam mode until you clear the blockage. A message may appear in the information display if the camera is blocked.
Note: Using much larger tires or equipping vehicle accessories such as snowplows can modify your vehicle's ride height and degrade automatic high beam control performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind the windshield of your vehicle, continuously monitors conditions to turn the high beams on and off.
Once the system is active, the high beams turn on if:
The high beams turn off if:
Switch the system on using the information display. See Information Displays (page 113).
