“AUTO” position.
Push the lever away from you.
The Automatic High Beam indi-
cator will come on when the
headlights are turned on auto-
matically to indicate that the sys-
tem is active.

observe your surroundings and turning high beam on or off manually if necessary.
■Camera sensor detection information
●High beam may not be automatically turned off in the following situations:

• When another vehicle cuts across in front of you.
●High beam may be turned off if an oncoming vehicle that is using fog lights with-
out using the headlights is detected.
●Houselights, streetlights, red traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs
may cause the high beam to turn off.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn high beam on
or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of oncoming and pre-ceding vehicles
• Road conditions (wetness, ice, snow etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of baggage
●High beam may be turned on or off when unexpected by the driver.
