uuOperating the Switches Around the Steering Wheel uAuto High-Beam
Controls
Auto High-Beam
Using a camera attached to the inside of the windshield, this system detects light
sources ahead of the vehicle. Depend ing on the light source, the system
automatically switches the headlights to hi gh beam for optimal visibility at night.1Auto High-Beam
The auto high-beam determines when to change the
headlight beams by responding to the brightness of
the lights ahead of your vehicle. In the following
cases, the system may not respond to the lights
properly:
•The brightness of the lights from the preceding or
oncoming vehicle is intense or poor.
•Visibility is poor due to the weather (rain, snow,
fog, windshield frost, etc.).
•Other light sources, such as street lights and
electric billboards are illuminating the road ahead.
•The brightness level of th e road ahead constantly
changes.
•The road is bumpy or with many curves.
•A vehicle cuts in front of you, or a vehicle in front
of you is not in the preceding or oncoming
direction.
•Your vehicle is tilted with a heavy load in the rear.
If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient
for driving, change the headlight beams manually.
If you do not want the system to be activated at any
time when the headlight switch is in AUTO, consult a
dealer or disable the system. 2 Disabling or Re-enabling the System P. 162
■The headlight switch is in AUTO.■The lever is in the low beam
position.
■The low beams are on and the
system recognizes that you are
driving at night.
■The vehicle speed is above 25 mph
(40 km/h).
The system operates when:
When the camera detects lig hts coming from a preceding or oncoming vehicle, the
headlights remain in low beam.
When the camera detects no lights coming from a preceding or oncoming vehicle,
the headlights change to high beam.
The view angle or distance that the camera can detect lights ahead differs
depending on conditions, such as the brightness of the lights and the weather.

uuOperating the Switches Around the Steering Wheel uAuto High-Beam
Controls
To activate the system , turn the headlight
switch to AUTO and then set the headlights
to low beam. The auto high-beam indicator
will come on.
2 Light Switches P. 156
The high beams remain on unless:
•You have been driving below 15 mph (24 km/h) for an extended amount of time.
• The speed of the vehicle dr ops below 6 mph (10 km/h).
• The windshield wipers have been runnin g at a high speed for more than a few
seconds.
• You enter a well lit location.
The high beams come back on once the condi tion that caused them to turn off no
longer exists.
If needed, you can temporarily turn the hi gh beams off manually. Turn on the high
beams by pushing the lever forward until you hear a click, or flash the high beams
once by pulling the lever toward you. To turn the high beams back on, repeat one
of the procedures.
■Operating the System1 Operating the System
For the auto high-beam to work properly:
•Do not place an object that reflects light on the
dashboard.
•Keep the windshield around the camera clean.
When cleaning the windshield, be careful not to
apply windshield cleanser to the camera lens.
•Do not attach an object, sticker or film to the area
around the camera.
•Do not touch the camera lens.
If the camera receives a st rong impact, or repairing of
the area near the camera is required, consult a dealer.
To help reduce the likel ihood that high interior
temperatures will cause the camera system to shut
off, when parking, find a shady area or face the front
of the vehicle away from the sun.
If you use a reflective sun shade, do not allow it to
cover the camera housing. Covering the camera can
concentrate heat on the camera.
If the Auto High-Beam Cannot Operate: Clean
Windshield message appears:
•Park your vehicle in a sa fe place, and clean the
windshield. If the message does not disappear after
you have cleaned the winds hield and driven for a
while, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
