What is IntelliBeam high beam Assist?
IntelliBeam High Beam Assist is an advanced driver assistance feature that automatically adjusts a vehicle's headlights between high and low beams based on the surrounding traffic conditions. This innovative technology helps improve nighttime driving safety by providing optimal illumination without causing glare for oncoming drivers.
How IntelliBeam High Beam Assist Works
IntelliBeam High Beam Assist utilizes a forward-facing camera mounted on the vehicle's windshield to detect the presence of other vehicles on the road. When the system identifies oncoming traffic or vehicles ahead, it automatically switches the headlights from high beam to low beam to avoid blinding other drivers. Once the other vehicles have passed, the system automatically returns the headlights to high beam, providing maximum illumination for the driver.
Benefits of IntelliBeam High Beam Assist

- Reduced Glare for Other Drivers: The automatic switching between high and low beams helps prevent the glare that can be caused by high-beam headlights, making the driving experience more comfortable and safer for all road users.
- Increased Convenience: Drivers no longer need to manually switch between high and low beams, allowing them to focus on the road and reducing the cognitive load during nighttime driving.
IntelliBeam High Beam Assist is a valuable feature that can significantly improve nighttime driving safety by providing optimal illumination while reducing the risk of glare for other drivers on the road.
