When driving
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) Turning on the high beam headlights
With the headlights on, push
the lever forward to turn on the
high beams. Vehicles with Automatic High
Beam: When the light switch is in
position, the Automatic
High Beam system will be acti-
vated. (  P. 216)
Pull the lever back to the center
position to turn the high beams
off.
Pull the lever toward you to
turn on the high beams. Release the lever to turn them off.
You can flash the high beams
with the headlights on or off.

2142-3. Operating the lights and wipers
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■ Daytime running light system
● To make your vehicle more visible to others, the high beam headlights
turn on automatically at a reduced intensity (vehicles with halogen head-
lights) or the LED daytime running lights turn on automatically (vehicles
with discharge headlights) whenever the engine is started and the park-
ing brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at
night.
Type A: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.
■ Headlight control sensor
■ Automatic light off system
Vehicles with smart key system
● When the headlights are on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30
seconds after a door is opened and closed if the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch has been switched to ACCESSORY or OFF mode.
● When only the tail lights are on: The tail lights turn off automatically if
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is switched to ACCESSORY or
OFF mode and driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to
IGNITION ON mode, or turn the light switch off once and then back to the
or
position. The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to
the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

2162-3. Operating the lights and wipers
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U)Automatic High Beam 
 : If equippedThe Automatic High Beam uses an in-vehicle camera sensor to
assess the brightness of streetligh ts, the lights of oncoming and
preceding vehicles, etc., and automatically turns high beam on or off
as necessary.
■ Activating the Automatic High Beam system
Push the lever away from you
with the headlight switch in
position when the
“ENGINE START STOP”
switch is in IGNITION ON
mode (vehicles with smart key
system) or the engine switch
is in the “ON” position (vehi-
cles without smart key sys-
tem). The Automatic High Beam indi-
cator will come on when the
headlights are turned on auto-
matically to indicate that the
system is active.

When driving
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■ Turning the high beam on/off manually
Switching to low beam

tion.
Switching to high beam

2182-3. Operating the lights and wipers
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■ High beam automatic turning on or off conditions

be automatically turned on (after approximately 1 second):
● Vehicle speed is above approximately 20 mph (32 km/h).
● The area ahead of t he vehicle is dark.
● There are no oncoming or precedi ng vehicles with headlights
or tail lights turned on.
If any of the following conditions are fulfilled, high beam will be
automatically turned off:

● The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
● Oncoming or preceding vehicles have headlights or tail lights
turned on.

When driving
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■ 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.

2202-3. Operating the lights and wipers
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ● 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.
