4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
The Automatic High Beam indicator will come on when the headlights are turned on automatically to indicate that the system
is active.
■High beam automatic turning on or off
conditions
●When all of the following conditions are
met, the high beam will be automatically turned on (after approximately 1 second):• Vehicle speed is above approximately 40
km/h (25 mph). • The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.• There are no vehicles ahead with head-
lights or tail lights turned on. • There are few streetlights on the road ahead.
●If any of the following conditions are met, the high beam will be automatically
turned off: • Vehicle speed drops below approxi-mately 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark. • Vehicles ahead have headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
■Camera sensor detection information
●The high beam may not be automatically turned off in the following situations:• When oncoming vehicles 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 divid-ers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear from the faraway lane on wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no lights
●The high beam may be turned off if a
vehicle ahead that is using fog lights with- out using the headlights is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs may cause the high beam to switch to the low
beams, or the low beams to remain on.
●The following factors may affect the
amount of time taken to turn the high beam on or off:• The brightness of headlights, fog lights,
and tail lights of vehicles ahead • The movement and direction of vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has opera- tional 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 high beam may be turned on or off when the driver does not expect it.
●Bicycles or similar objects may not be detected.
●In the situations shown below, the system may not be able to accurately detect sur-
rounding brightness levels. This may cause the low beams to remain on or the high beams to cause problems for pedes-
trians, vehicles ahead or other parties. In these cases, manually switch between the high and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sand- storms etc.)• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist,
ice, dirt etc. • The windshield is cracked or damaged.• The camera sensor is deformed or dirty.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail lights or fog lights.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights or tail lights that are either switched off, dirty, changing color, or have improperly
adjusted aim. • When driving through an area of inter-mittently changing brightness and dark-
