Ford Explorer: Automatic High Beam Control
About Automatic High Beam Control
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 the high beams off. Low beams remain on.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind the windshield of your vehicle, continuously
monitors conditions to turn the high beams on and off.
