Limitations of High Beam Assist
High Beam Assist may not work properly
in the following situations:

[ Light from an oncoming or front
vehicle is not detected because of
lamp damage, or because it is hidden
from sight, etc.

[ Headlight of an oncoming or front
vehicle is covered with dust, snow or
water.

[ A front vehicle’s headlights are off, but
the fog lamps are on, etc.

[ There is a lamp that has a similar
shape as a vehicle’s lamp.

[ Headlights have been damaged or not
repaired properly.

[ Headlights are not aimed properly.

[ Driving on a narrow-curved road,
rough road, uphill or downhill.

[ Vehicle in front is partially visible on a
crossroad or curved road.

[ There is a traffic light, reflecting sign,
flashing sign or mirror ahead.

[ There is a temporary reflector or flash
ahead (construction area).

[ The road conditions are bad such as
being wet, iced or covered with snow.

[ A vehicle suddenly appears from a
curve.

[ The vehicle is tilted from a flat tire or
is being towed.

[ Light from an oncoming or front
vehicle is not detected due to
obstacles in the air such as exhaust
fume, smoke, fog, snow, or water spay
or blizzard on the road, or fogging in
the lamp, etc. Information
For more details on the limitations of the
front view camera, refer to Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) section
in chapter .
WARNING

[At times, High Beam Assist may
not work properly. The system is
for your convenience only. It is the
responsibility of the driver for safe
driving practices and always check
the road conditions for your safety.

[ When High Beam Assist does not
operate normally, change the
headlight position manually between
high beam and low beam.

Driving Your Vehicle6-50
Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
NOTICE
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
engine overheating, possible damage to
the transmission, and tire damage. See
“Towing” section in chapter 8.
Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration.
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards than
driving in the daylight. Here are some
important tips to remember:

[ Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street lights.

[ Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare
from other drivers’ headlights.

[ Keep your headlights clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlights will make it much
more difficult to see at night.

[ Avoid staring directly at the headlights
of oncoming vehicles. You could be
temporarily blinded, and it will take
several seconds for your eyes to
readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or on
slick pavement:

[Slow down and allow extra following
distance. A heavy rainfall makes
it harder to see and increases the
distance needed to stop your vehicle.

[ Turn OFF your Smart Cruise Control.
(if equipped)

[ Replace your windshield wiper blades
when they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.

[ Be sure your tires have enough tread.
If your tires do not have enough depth
of tire tread, making a quick stop on
wet pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. See “Tire
Tread” section in chapter 9.

[ Turn on your headlights to make it
easier for others to see you.

[ Driving too fast through large puddles
can affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.

[ If you believe your brakes may be wet,
apply them lightly while driving until
normal braking operation returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the water.
The best advice is SLOW DOWN when
the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as
the depth of tire tread decreases, refer
to “Tire Tread” section in chapter 9.
