Ford Explorer: Automatic High Beam Control / Switching Automatic High Beam Control On and Off
WARNING: Do not use the system in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy
rain, spray or snow.
Use the touchscreen to select the following:
- Select Settings. See Settings.
- Select Vehicle.
- Select Lighting.
Activating the Automatic High Beam Control
Switch the lighting control to the
autolamps position. See Autolamps.
Note: The lighting control defaults to autolamps each time you switch your
vehicle on.
When active, the high beams turn on if:
- The ambient light level is low enough.
- There is no traffic in front of your vehicle.
- The vehicle speed is greater than approximately 32 mph (51 km/h).
When active, the high beams turn off if:
- The ambient light level is high enough that high beams are not required.
- The system detects an approaching vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps.
- The system detects severe rain, snow or fog.
- The camera is blocked.
- The vehicle speed falls below approximately 27 mph (44 km/h).
Note: The deactivation speed is lower on curves.
Note: High beam reactivation may be delayed in certain curvy road situations.
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.
