Driving
by 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 ahead have no lights
●The high beams may be turned off
if a vehicle ahead that is using fog
lights without using the headlights
is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic
signals, and illumi nated billboards
or signs may cause the high
beams to switch to the low beams,
or the low beams to remain on.
●The following factors may affect
the amount of time taken to turn
the high beams on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog
lights, and tail lig hts of vehicles
ahead
• The movement and direction of
vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has operational lights 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 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 accu-
rately detect surrounding bright-
ness 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.

properly
• When the vehicle is hit by water,
snow, dust, etc. from a preceding
vehicle
• When driving through an area of
intermittently changing brightness
