Freeway mode
Freeway mode adjusts the light beam to re-
duce the amount of light that shines on the
opposite lane of the freeway, and oncoming
traffic.
Freeway mode is active if you are driving at a
speed above 68 MPH (110 km/h) and do not
make any large steering movements for at
least 3300 ft (1000 m) or if you are driving at
a speed above 81 MPH (130 km/h).
It is not active if you are driving at speeds
below 50 MPH (80 km/h) following activa-
tion.
HIGH BEAM ASSIST (LED
HEADLIGHT ONLY)
You can use this function to set the head-
lights to change between low beam and high
beam automatically. The system recognizes
vehicles with their lights on, either approach-
ing from the opposite direction or traveling in
front of your vehicle, and consequently
switches the headlights from high beam to
low beam.
The system automatically adapts the low
beam headlight range depending on the dis-
tance to the other vehicle. Once the system
no longer detects any other vehicles, it
switches on the high beam headlights again.
The system's optical sensor is located behind
the windshield near the overhead control
panel.
WARNING
•The high beam assist system is a conve-
nience but is not a substitute for safe
driving operation. The driver should re-
main alert at all times, ensure safe driv-
ing practices and switch the high beams
and low beam manually when necessary.
•The high beam or low beam may not
switch automatically under the follow-
ing conditions. Switch the high beam
and low beam manually. – During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
wind, etc.).
– When a light source similar to a head-
light or tail light is in the vicinity of
the vehicle.
– When the headlights of the oncoming
vehicle or the leading vehicle are
turned off, when the color of the light
is affected due to foreign materials
on the lights, or when the light beam
is out of position.
– When there is a sudden, continuous
change in brightness.
– When driving on a road that passes
over rolling hills, or a road that has
level differences.
– When driving on a road with many
curves.
NSD594NDS595
2-68Instruments and controls

–When a sign or mirror-like surface is
reflecting intense light towards the
front of the vehicle.
– When the container, etc. being towed
by a leading vehicle is reflecting in-
tense light.
– When a headlight on your vehicle is
damaged or dirty.
– When the vehicle is leaning at an
angle due to a punctured tire, being
towed, etc.
•The timing of switching the low beam
and high beam may change under the
following situations. –
The brightness of the headlights of the
oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle.
–The movement and direction of the on-
coming vehicle and the leading vehicle.
– When only one light on the oncoming
vehicle or the leading vehicle is illumi-
nated.
–
When the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle is a two-wheeled vehicle.
– Road conditions (incline, curve, the
road surface, etc.).
– The number of passengers and the
amount of luggage.
•High beam Assist does not recognize
road users: – Who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians. –
Who have low intensity lighting, e. g.
cyclists.
– Whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a
barrier.
•In very rare cases, High beam Assist rec-
ognizes road users too late or not at all.
In this, or in similar situations, the auto-
matic high beam headlights will not be
deactivated or activated regardless.
There is a risk of an accident.
•Always carefully observe the traffic
conditions and switch off the high beam
headlights in good time.
CAUTION
High beam Assist cannot compensate for
road and weather circumstances while
driving. The system saves the driver from
having to operate the switch. The driver
always remains responsible for choosing
the correct light setting.
Specific situations in which to operate the
headlight switch manually:
•In heavy rain, snowy conditions. (gen-
eral poor visibility and bad weather con-
ditions).
•When the vehicle sensors are dirty, cov-
ered or broken.
Switching High Beam Assist on/off
To switch on:
Turn the light switch to <AUTO> and press
the combination switch beyond the pressure
point in the direction of arrow
3. Theindicator light in the vehicle information dis-
play lights up when it is dark and the light
sensor switches on the low-beam headlights.
If you are driving at speeds above approxi-
mately 28 MPH (45 km/h) the headlight
range is set automatically depending on the
distance between the vehicle and other road
users.
If you are driving at speeds above approxi-
mately 34 MPH (55 km/h) and no other road
users are detected, the high beam headlights
are switched on automatically. The

Instruments and controls2-69

indicator light in the combination meter also
lights up.
If you are driving at speeds below approxi-
mately 28 MPH (45 km/h) or other road
users are detected or the roads are ad-
equately lit The high beam headlights are
switched off automatically. The
indica-
tor light in the combination meter goes out.
The
indicator light in the vehicle infor-
mation display remains lit.
To deactivate:
Move the combination switch back to its nor-
mal position The
indicator light in the
vehicle information display goes out.
HEADLIGHTS MISTED UP ON
THE INSIDE
Certain climatic and physical conditions may
cause moisture to form in the headlight. This
moisture does not affect the functionality of
the headlight.
INSTRUMENT BRIGHTNESS
CONTROL
The light sensor in the combination meter
automatically controls the brightness of the
instrument panel
In daylight, the displays in the combination
meter are not illuminated
The lighting in the combination meter, dis-
plays and controls in the vehicle interior can
be adjusted using the brightness control
knob.
The brightness control knob
1is located
behind the steering wheel.
Turn the brightness control knob clockwise or
counterclockwise. If the light switch is set to
orthe brightness is dependent
upon the brightness of the ambient light.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS
In conditions where visibility is poor due to
fog, snow or rain, the fog lights improve vis-
ibility as well as making it easier for other
road users to see you. They can be operated
together with the side lights or together with
the side lights and low beam headlights.
To switch on the fog lights:
•Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
or start the engine.
•Turn the light switch toor <AUTO>.
•Press thebutton. The greenindicator light in the combination meter
lights up

MOVING OBJECT DETECTION (IF SO
EQUIPPED)
4-38Display screen, heater and air conditioner, and audio system

•The MOD system is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with objects
surrounding the vehicle. When maneu-
vering, always use the outside mirror
and rearview mirror and turn and check
the surroundings to ensure it is safe to
maneuver.
•The system is deactivated at speeds
above 5 MPH (8 km/h). It is reactivated
at lower speeds.
•The MOD system is not designed to de-
tect the surrounding stationary objects.
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system
can inform the driver of moving objects sur-
rounding the vehicle when driving out of ga-
rages, maneuvering into parking lots and in
other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the
image shown on the display.
MOD SYSTEM OPERATION
The MOD system will activate automatically
under the following conditions:
•When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
•When the <CAMERA> button is pressed
to switch from a different screen to the
camera view on the display.
•When vehicle speed decreases below ap-
proximately 5 MPH (8 km/h).
•When the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and then back to the ON
position.
NOTE
•The MOD system does not detect moving
objects in the front-side view. The MOD
icon is not displayed on the screen when in
this view.
•While the parking sensor warning tone is
sounding, the MOD system does not
chime. The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is dis-
played:
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 5 MPH (8 km/h ) or less, the MOD
system detects moving objects in the camera
view. The MOD system will not operate if the
lift gate is open.
When the MOD system detects moving ob-
jects near the vehicle, a chime will be heard
and a yellow frame
1will be displayed on
the monitor.
While the MOD system continues to detect
moving objects, the yellow frame continues
to be displayed.
The yellow frame
1is displayed on each
view in the rear view modes.
