FORD 2010 Taurus v.2 - Manual (Page 63)

• The vehicle speed falls below 27 mph (43 km/h).
• The ambient light level is high enough that high beams are not
needed.
• Severe rain, snow or fog is detected.
• The camera is blocked.
Note: Activating the multi-function lever will put the headlamps in
manual high beam mode (constant or flash-to-pass) until the lever is
returned to the neutral position. To manually override the auto high
beam and go to low beam, the headlamp control must be taken out of
the
(autolamp) position.
Setting auto high beam sensitivity
The automatic high beam system has two sensitivity settings. The default
setting is near. If you would like the high beams to turn off when traffic
is further away, the sensitivity setting can be changed to far. The
procedure is as follows:
Preconditions:
• Vehicle is at a stop.
• Ignition is in the on position.
• The headlamp control is in the
position.
• High-beams are off.
Programming Sequence:
1. Turn the headlamp control from (On) to (autolamp) three
times within two seconds, ending in (On).
2. Cycle flash-to-pass three times using the multi-function lever.
3. The sensitivity setting has been changed.
Note: The programming sequence will end if either of the following
occur:
• The vehicle speed is not zero.
• The battery voltage is out of normal range.
Troubleshooting
If the automatic high beam camera becomes blocked, the high beams
may not come on automatically. They will only activate when they are
manually turned on with the multi-function lever.
