Limitations of the Automatic High Beam
Do not rely on the Automatic High Beam. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings and turning high beam on or off manually if nec-
essary.
■ Camera sensor detection information
● High beam may not be automatically turned off in the following situations:
• When oncoming vehicles suddenly appear from a curve.
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another.
● High beam may be turned off if an oncoming vehicle that is using fog
lights without using the headlights is detected.
● Houselights, streetlights, red traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or
signs may cause the high beam to turn off.
● The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn high
beam on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of oncoming and
preceding vehicles
• Road conditions (wetness, ice, snow etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of baggage
● High beam may be turned on or off when unexpected by the driver.

208 2-3. Operating the lights and wipers
VENZA_U (OM73013U)
●In the situations below, the system may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness levels, and may flash or expose nearby pedestri-
ans to the high beam. Therefore, you should consider turning the high
beam on or off manually rather than relying on the Automatic High Beam
system.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The inside rear view mirror or ca mera sensor is deformed or dirty.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail lights or fog lights.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights that are either switched off, dirty, are changing color, or are not aimed properly.
• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads, or roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved
roads, gravel tracks etc.)
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a winding road
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or a mirror.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc.
• The Automatic High Beam indicator is flashing.
• The high beam and low beam are repeatedly being switched between in an abnormal manner.
• The driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems or distress to other drivers or pedestrians nearby.

■ Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration o\
f

● Remove any dust or dirt on leather surfaces immediately.
● Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
● Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or that contain wax on the uphol-
stery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats
up significantly.
■ Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water comes
into contact with electrical components under the floor of the vehicle, and
may also cause the body to rust.
■ Cleaning the inside of the rear window
