Auto High-Beam (High Beam Support System)*
Uses the camera attached to the windsh ield, monitors the space ahead of your
vehicle, and automatically changes th e low beam headlights to high beam
headlights when necessary.1 Auto High-Beam (High Beam Support System)*
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, however, 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 streetlights and electric
billboards are illumina ting the road ahead.
•The brightness level of th e road ahead constantly
changes.
•The road is bumpy or has many curves.
•A vehicle ahead of you suddenly cuts you off or is
not traveling in the a ppropriate direction.
•Your vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load in the rear.
If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient
for driving, change the headlight beams manually.
■The headlight switch is in
AUTO.
■The lever is in the low beam
position.
■The system recognizes that you
are driving at night and the
low beam headlights come on.
■The vehicle speed is above 25
mph (40 km/h).
The system operates when:
The camera is not detecting any lights coming from preceding or oncoming
vehicles: The headlights change to high beams.
The camera detects lights coming from a preceding or oncoming vehicle: The
headlights are return ed to low beams.
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.
The system changes between high and low beam headlights when:
