VEHICLE CONTROLSVEHICLE CONTROLS
Auto High-Beam System*
Automatically changes the low beam headlights to high beam headlights when 
necessary.
How It Works
When you are driving at night above 25 mph (40 km/h) and the headlight lever is 
in the low beam position with the switch rotated to AUTO, the system changes 
between low and high beams depending on the surrounding conditions.
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you, the headlights stay in low beams. If the 
system does not detect any vehicles ahead of you, the headlights change \
to high
beams. 
Certain conditions, such as weather and brightness of other vehicles’ lights, can 
affect system operation.
Turning the System On or Off
Make sure the headlight lever is in the low beam 
position with the switch rotated to the AUTo
position. The auto high-beam system indicator 
appears when the system is on.
The system is canceled temporarily when you drive at speeds below 15 mph (24 
km/h), the vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h), or the windshield wipers run at 
high speed for more than a few seconds.
To disable the system: When the vehicle is on and parked, pull the headlight lever 
towards you and hold it for 40 seconds. The auto high-beam indicator blinks twice.
To re-enable the system: Pull the headlight lever towards you and hold it for 30
seconds. The auto high-beam indicator blinks once.

Intermittent (INT) Wipers*
When you move the lever to the INT position, the 
wipers operate based on the delay adjustment.
rotate the adjustment ring to adjust the wiper delay.
Headlight-Wiper Integration*
When the headlights are in the AUTO position, they automatically turn on when 
the front wipers operate several times within a certain interval. The he\
adlights
turn off shortly after the wipers are turned off, or if there is enough ambient  light.

VEHICLE CONTROLSVEHICLE CONTROLS
Always ensure the wiper lever is in the OFF position before entering a car wash to 
prevent severe damage to the windshield wiper system.
NOTICE
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get
scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck. 
operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the def\
roster
to warm the windshield, or manually clear the windshield of ice and snow before 
turning on the wipers.
NOTICE
Automatic (AUTO) Rain-Sensing Wipers*
When you move the lever to the AUTO position 
while driving in rainy weather, the wipers operate
based on the amount of detected rainfall.
Put the lever in the AUTo position only when
driving in rainy weather.
rotate the adjustment ring to adjust the rainfall
sensor sensitivity.
return the lever to the oFF position when rain
stops.
