▼ Tips for the high beam assist
system
The high beam assist function recog-

vehicle based on the brightness of illumi-
nation ahead of your vehicle, etc. There-
fore, the headlight mode may switch in
some situations that do not match to the
driver’s sense.
 A bicycle or cargo cycle may not be
detected.
 Under the following situations, the
brightness of ambient illumination may not
be detected correctly and the high beam
assist function may not work properly. As
a result, the glare of the high beam may
disturb the oncoming vehicle or vehicle
ahead. Also, the low beam mode may
continue although there are no oncoming
vehicles and vehicles ahead. In the such
cases, change the headlight mode manu-
ally.
