SRH is activated
2) The target area of illumination when
SRH is not activatedSRH is a function that automatically
moves the headlight beam to the left or
right in accordance with the steering
angle. This function helps to improve the
visibility at night by illuminating the road
ahead at corners and intersections.
You can turn the SRH function on or off.
The settings can be changed by using the

from either side
▽ BSD/RCTA approach indicator
light dimming function
When the headlights are turned on, the
brightness of the BSD/RCTA approach
indicator light will be reduced.
NOTE You may have difficulty seeing the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator light
under the following conditions. - When sunlight shines directly on
it
- When the headlight beams from
a vehicle traveling behind shines
directly on it
 While the illumination brightness
control dial is in the fully upward posi- tion, even if the headlights are turned

on, the brightness of the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light will not be
reduced. For details about the illumina-
tion brightness control dial, refer to
"Illumination Brightness Control"
 P130.

▼ Safety tips regarding the BSD/
RCTA approach indicator light/
warning buzzer
 In the following cases, operation of the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator light and
the warning buzzer may be delayed or the
system may fail to issue these warnings.
- When a vehicle moves to the neigh-
boring lane from a lane next to the
neighboring lane
- When driving on a steep incline or
on repeated sharp uphill and downhill
grades
- When going beyond a pass - When both your vehicle and a

vehicle driving on a neighboring lane
are driving on the far side of each lane.
- When several narrowly-spaced
vehicles are approaching in a row
- In low radius bends (tight bends or
when making turns at an intersection)
- When there is a difference in height
between your lane and the neighboring
lane
- Immediately after the BSD/RCTA is
activated by touching “BSD/RCTA”
- Immediately after the shift lever/
select lever is shifted to the “R” position
- When extremely heavy cargo is
loaded in the trunk
 During reversing, operation of the BSD/
RCTA approach indicator light and the
warning buzzer may be delayed or the
system may fail to issue these warnings
under the following conditions.
- When backing out of an angled
parking space
- When a large-sized vehicle is
parked next to your vehicle (That
vehicle prevents the propagation of
radar waves.)
- When reversing on sloped roads
- When reversing at a high speedBRZ_U.book 272 ページ ２０２２年３月２９日　火曜日　午後３時５９分
