Exterior Lighting - Overview: Headlamps

The headlamp system is a quad-beam pattern system. It consists of non-replaceable low and high beam Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in each headlamp assembly. The front park/DRL Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and side marker Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are integrated into the headlamp assembly and are not replaceable.

When the LH steering column multifunction is pulled briefly, the high beam bulbs or Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) briefly illuminate for the flash-to-pass function. If the LH steering column multifunction is pushed, the high beam bulbs or Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) illuminate until the LH steering column multifunction is pulled back to the center position.

If equipped with automatic high beams, during nighttime driving, the automatic high beam system automatically turns the high beams on if it is dark enough and no other traffic is present. When the system detects an approaching vehicle's headlamps or a preceding vehicle's rear lamps, the system turns off the high beams. When the approaching vehicle's headlamps or the preceding vehicle's rear lamps are no longer detected, the high beams automatically turn back on.
