Automatic High Beam
The Automatic High Beam uses an in-v
ehicle camera sensor to assess the
brightness of streetlights, the lights of vehicles ahead etc., and automatically
turns the high beam on or off as necessary.
WA R N I N G
■Limitations of the Automatic High Beam
Do not rely on the Automatic High Beam. Always drive safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings and turning the high beam on or off manually if necessary.
■To prevent incorrect operation of the Automatic High Beam system
Do not overload the vehicle.
NOTICE
■Notes when using the Automatic High Beam system
Vehicles without PCS (Pre-Collision System):
Observe the following to ensure that the Automatic High Beam functions correctly.
●Do not place items on the dashboard. There is a possibility that the camera sensor will
mistake items reflected in the windshield for streetlights, the headlights of other vehi-
cles, etc.
●Do not install a parking tag or any other acc essories near or around the inside rear
view mirror and the camera sensor.
●Do not modify the vehicle.
●Do not replace windshield with non-genuine windshield.

■Camera sensor detection information
●The high beam may not be automatically turned off in the following situations:
• When oncoming vehicles sudd enly 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 dividers 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 vehicl e ahead that is using fog lights without 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 be ams, 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 operational 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 caus e the low beams to remain on or the high
beams to cause problems for pedestrians, vehicles ahead or other parties. In these
cases, manually switch between the high and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The camera sensor is deformed or dirty.
• The camera sensor temperature is extremely high.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail lights or fog lights.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights that are either switched off, dirty, are changing color, or have are not aimed properly.
• When driving through an area of intermit tently changing brightness and darkness.
• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads, or roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved roads, gravel tracks etc.).
• When frequently and repeat edly taking curves or driving on a winding road.
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or a mirror.
• The back of a vehicle ahead is highly reflective, such as a container on a truck.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc.
• The high beam and low beam are repeated ly being switched between in an abnor-
mal manner.
• The driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems or distress to other
drivers or pedestrians nearby.

Multi-terrain Monitor
The following screens can be select
ed according to driving conditions.
• Screens that can be selected vary depe nding on conditions such as shift posi-
tion and vehicle speed. ( P. 3 2 4 )
• Depending on the displayed screen, th e display can be switched from normal
to wide view display.
The Multi-terrain Monitor helps the driv er to check the vehicle surroundings.
It assists in determining the conditions around the driver in a variety of situa-
tions, such as when judging conditions during off-road driving or checking for
obstacles when parking.
WA R N I N G
■When using the Multi- terrain Monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or
serious injuries.
●Never rely solely on the Multi-terrain Moni tor. As with unequipped vehicles, drive
carefully while directly confirming the safety of your surroundings and the area to the
rear of the vehicle. Take particular care to avoid parked cars and other obstacles.
●Due to the characteristics of the camera lens, the actual position and distance of peo-
ple and other obstacles will differ from those shown on the Multi-terrain Monitor
screen. Directly confirm the safety of your surroundings before driving.
●Do not drive while only looking at the scre en. When driving, make sure to directly
confirm the safety of your surroundings, su ch as by visually checking the area and
using the vehicle’s mirrors.
●In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the images may become faint.
Images of moving objects in particular may distort or disappear from the screen.
Therefore, make sure to drive carefully while directly visually confirming the safety of
your surroundings.
