Automatic High Beams
The
Automatic High Beam headlight
control system provides increased
forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of the forward digital
camera mounted behind the rearview
mirror, which is the same one used
also by the Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) system. This camera detects
vehicle specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is
out of view. Furthermore, the digital
camera is able to detect the urban
areas and the inhabited centers and to
turn off the high beams when driving
near of one of them.
The high beam can be turned back on
if there are all the necessary
conditions and if the vehicle speed
exceed 21.7 mph (35 km/h).
