Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011

Driving with IntelliBeam

IntelliBeam only activates the high-beams when driving

over 20 mph (32 km/h).

The high-beam headlamps remain on, under the

automatic control of IntelliBeam, until any of the

following situations occur:

The system detects an approaching vehicle's

headlamps.

The system detects a preceding vehicle's

taillamps.

The outside light is bright enough that high-beam

headlamps are not required.

The vehicle's speed drops below 15 mph

(24 km/h).

The headlamp stalk is moved forward to the

high-beam position or the flash-to-pass feature is

used. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer

page 4‑6

and Flash-to-Pass

on page 4‑10

When either of these conditions occur, the

IntelliBeam feature is disabled and the IntelliBeam

light in the mirror turns 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 is 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 is disabled until the

control is turned back to the AUTO position.

The IntelliBeam system is turned off at the inside

rearview mirror.

IntelliBeam might not turn off the high-beams if the

system cannot detect other vehicle's lamps because of

any of the following:

The other 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.
