30 km/h (19 mph) or more.
• The area ahead of t he vehicle is dark. • There are no vehicles ahead with

another vehicle
• When vehicles ahead are hidden from sight due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear from the
faraway lane on a wide road
• When vehicles a head have no lights
●The high beams may be turned off if a
vehicle ahead that i s using fog lights without using th e headlights is
detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic sig-
nals, and illuminated billboards or
signs may cause t he high beams to switch to the low beams, or the low

lights, and tail light s of vehicles ahead

●The high beams may be turned on or off when the driver does not expect it.
●Bicycles or similar objects may not be detected.
●In the situations shown below, the system may not be able to accurately
detect surrounding brightness levels.
This may cause the low beams to remain on or the high beams to cause
problems for pedestrians, vehicles
ahead or other parties. In these cases, manually switch between the
high and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sand -
storms, etc.) • The windshield is obscured by fog,
