the headlight switch in the or
position. Daytime running lights are not
designed for use at night.
■Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function properly if an object is placed on the sensor, or
anything that blocks the sensor is affixed to the windshield.Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and may cause the automatic headlight sys-tem to malfunction.
■Automatic light off system
●When the light switch is in or
: The headlights and front fog
lights (if equipped) turn off automati-
cally if the power switch is turned to
ACC or OFF.
●When the light switch is in : The
headlights and all lights turn off auto-
matically if the power switch is turned
to ACC or OFF.
To turn the lights on again, turn the
power switch to ON, or turn the light
switch or once and then back
to or .
■Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the power switch
is turned to OFF or ACC and the driver’s door is opened while the lights are turned on.
■Automatic headlight leveling sys-
tem (if equipped)
The level of the headlights is automati- cally adjusted according to the number
of passengers and the loading condition of the vehicle to ensure that the head-lights do not interfere with other road
users.
■When unlock the doors (welcome lamp) (vehicles with LED type headlights)
When the doors are unlocked using the entry function or wireless remote con-trol, the front position lights turn on auto-
matically.
When the light switch is in the AUTO position and the surrounding area is
dark, this function will operate.
■12-volt battery-saving function
In order to prevent the 12-volt battery of
the vehicle from discharging, if the light
switch is in the or position
when the power switch is turned off the
12-volt battery saving function will oper-
ate and automatically turn off all the
lights after approximately 20 minutes.
When the power switch is turned to ON,
the 12-volt battery-saving function will
be disabled.
When any of the following are per-
formed, the 12-volt battery-saving func-
tion is canceled once and then
reactivated. All the lights will turn off
automatically 20 minutes after the 12-
volt battery-saving function has been
reactivated:
●When the headlight switch is operated

 Adjusts the brightness and illumi-
nated area of the high beams
according to the vehicle speed.
 Adjusts the intensity of the high
beams, while driving on a curve,
so that the area in the direction
that the vehicle is turning will be
illuminated more brightly than
other areas.
 Operates the shaded high
beams so that the area around
AHS (Adaptive High-
beam System)*
The Adaptive High-beam Sys-
tem uses a front camera
located behind the upper por-
tion of the windshield to
assess the brightness of the
lights of vehicles ahead, street-
lights, etc., and automatically
controls the headlight light dis-
tribution as necessary.
WARNING
■Limitations of the Adaptive High-
beam System
Do not overly rely on the Adaptive High-beam System. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe your surroundings and turning the high beams on or off manually if neces-
sary.
■To prevent incorrect operation of the Adaptive High-beam System
Do not overload the vehicle.

beams are projected will be adjusted
automatically, depending on the loca- tion of vehicles ahead:• The vehicle speed is approximately 15
km/h (10 mph) or more. • The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.• There are vehicles ahead with head-
lights or tail lights turned on.
●If any of the following conditions are
met, the high beams or shaded high beams will be changed to the low beams automatically:
• The vehicle speed is below approxi- mately 15 km/h (10 mph).• The area ahead of the vehicle is not
dark. • There are many vehicles ahead.• Vehicles ahead are moving quickly
and the high beams may blind the drivers of the other vehicles.
■Front camera detection information
●The high beams may not be automati-cally changed to the shaded high beams in the following situations:
• When vehicles ahead suddenly appear from a curve• When the vehicle is cut in front of by
another vehicle • When vehicles ahead are hidden from sight due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees • When vehicles ahead appear from the faraway lane on wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no lights
●The high beams may be changed to
the shaded high beams if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights without its headlights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic sig-nals, and illuminated billboards or
signs and other reflective objects may cause the high beams to change to the shaded high beams, cause the
high beams not to change to the shaded high beams, or change the area that is not illuminated.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn the high
beam on or off, or the speed by which the areas not illuminated change:
• The brightness of headlights, fog
lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead • The movement and direction of vehi-cles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has oper- ational lights on one side• When a vehicle ahead is a two-
wheeled vehicle • The condition of the road (gradient, curve, condition of the road surface,
etc.) • The number of passengers and amount of luggage
●The light distribution control of the headlights may change unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar objects may not be detected.
●In the following situations the system may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness level. This may cause the low beams to remain on or the high beams to flash or daz-
zle pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In such a case, it is necessary to manu-ally switch between the high and low
beams. • When driving in inclement weather (heavy rain, snow, fog, sandstorms,
etc.) • When the windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• When the windshield is cracked or damaged• When the front camera is deformed or
dirty • When the temperature of the front camera is extremely high
• When the surrounding brightness level is equal to that of headlights, tail lights or fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of vehi- cles ahead are turned off, dirty, chang-ing color, or not aimed properly
• When the vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc., from a preceding vehicle
• When driving through an area of inter- mittently changing brightness and darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly driv- ing ascending/descending roads, or

AHB (Automatic High
Beam)*
The Automatic High Beam
uses a front camera located
behind the upper portion of the

brightness of the lights of vehi-
cles ahead, streetlights, etc.,
and automatically turns the
high beams on or off as neces-
sary.
WARNING

• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another vehicle
• When vehicles ahead cannot be
detected due to repeated curves, road dividers or roadside trees• When vehicles ahead appear in a far-
away lane on a wide road • When the lights of vehicles ahead are not on
●The high beams may be turned off if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights
without its headlights turned on is detected.
●House lights, streetlights, traffic sig-nals, and illuminated billboards or signs and other reflective objects may
cause the high beams to change to the low beams, or the low beams to remain on.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken for the high
beams to turn on or off: • The brightness of the headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehi- cles ahead• When a vehicle ahead only has oper-
ational lights on one side • When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient, curve, condition of the road surface, etc.)
