the visibility, and the road and traffic conditions.
• When there are other sources of light in the area such as street lamps, 
illuminated signboards, and traffic signals.
• When there are reflective objects in the surrounding area such as reflective 
plates and signs.
• When visibility is reduced under rain, snow and foggy conditions.
• When driving on roads with sharp curves or undulations.

Otherwise, the Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) may not operate normally.
• Do not rely excessively on the Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) and drive 
the vehicle while paying sufficient attention to safety. Switch the headlights 
between the high beams and low beams manually if necessary.
• When the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles ahead or in the opposite lane are 
dim or not illuminated.
• When there is insufficient darkness such as at dawn or dusk.
• When the luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear

When Driving
Diesel Particulate Filter 
The diesel particulate filter collects and removes most of the particulate matter 
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
• If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9 mph) or less continuously.
For details, refer to Section 4, “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System” or 
“Diesel Particulate Filter”.
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all 
four tyres. If the air pressure of one or more tyres is too low, the system warns the 
driver by indicating the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light in the 
instrument cluster and operating a beep sound. 
In the following cases, system initialization must be performed so that the system 
operates normally. 
• A tyre pressure is adjusted. 
•
Tyre rotation is performed. 
• A tyre or wheel is replaced. 
• The battery is replaced or completely drained. 
• The tyre pressure monitoring system warning 
light is illuminated. 
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System 
PM collected by the diesel particulate filter is cleared during normal driving, 
however, PM may not be removed and the diesel particulate filter indicator light 
may illuminate under the following conditions:
• If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a short period of time (10 minute or less) 
or driven while the engine is cold.
• If the vehicle is idled for a long time.
