■Headlight control sensor (if
equipped)
The sensor may not function prop-
erly if an object is placed on the sen-
sor, or anything that blocks the
sensor is affixed to the windshield. Doing so interferes with the sensor

Using the Automatic High
Beam system

1824-3. Operating the lights and wipers
• When another vehicle crosses in front of the vehicle
• When vehicles ahead are repeat-
edly detected and then hidden
due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees
• When a vehicle ahead approaches from a far lane
• When a vehicle ahead is far away
• When a vehicle ahead has no
lights
• When the lights of a vehicle ahead
are dim
• When a vehicle ahead is reflecting strong light, such as own head-
lights
• Situations in which the sensors may not operate properly: P. 1 9 6
●The headlights may change to the
low beams if a vehi cle ahead that
is using fog lights without its head-
lights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic
signals, and illumi nated billboards
or signs may cause the high
beams to change to the low
beams, or the low beams to
remain on.
●The following may change the tim-
ing at which the headlights
change to the low beams:
• The brightness of lights of vehi- cles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehicles ahead
• The distance betw een the vehicle
and a vehicle ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has lights illuminate d on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradi-
ent, curve, condi tion of the road
surface, etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of luggage
●The headlights may change
between the high beams and low
beams unexpectedly.
●Bicycles and other small vehicles
may not be detected.
●In the following situations, the sys- tem may not be able to correctly
detect the brightness of the sur-
roundings. This may cause the
low beams to remain on or the
high beams to flash or dazzle
pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In
such a case, it
is necessary to
manually change between the
high beams and low beams.
• When there are lights similar to headlights or tail lights in the sur-
rounding area
• When headlights or tail lights of vehicles ahead are turned off,
dirty, changing color, or not aimed
properly
• When the headlights are repeat- edly changing between the high
beams and low beams.
• When use of the high beams is inappropriate or when the high
beams may be flashing or daz-
zling pedestrians or other drivers.
• When the vehicl e is used in an
area in which vehicles travel on
the opposite side of the road of
the country for which the vehicle
was designed, for example using
a vehicle designed for right-hand
traffic in a left-ha nd traffic area, or
vice versa
• When it is necessary to disable the system: P. 1 9 2
• Situations in which the sensors may not operate properly: P. 1 9 6
