beams are projected will be adjusted
automatically, depending on the loca- tion of vehicles ahead:• The vehicle speed is approximately 15
km/h (10 mph) or more. • The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.• There are vehicles ahead with head-
lights or tail lights turned on.
●If any of the following conditions are
met, the high beams or shaded high beams will be changed to the low beams automatically:
• The vehicle speed is below approxi- mately 15 km/h (10 mph).• The area ahead of the vehicle is not
dark. • There are many vehicles ahead.• Vehicles ahead are moving quickly
and the high beams may blind the drivers of the other vehicles.
■Front camera detection information
●The high beams may not be automati-cally changed to the shaded high beams in the following situations:
• When vehicles ahead suddenly appear from a curve• When the vehicle is cut in front of 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 wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no lights
●The high beams may be changed to
the shaded high beams if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights without its headlights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic sig-nals, and illuminated billboards or
signs and other reflective objects may cause the high beams to change to the shaded high beams, cause the
high beams not to change to the shaded high beams, or change the area that is not illuminated.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn the high
beam on or off, or the speed by which the areas not illuminated change:
• The brightness of headlights, fog
lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead • The movement and direction of vehi-cles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has oper- ational lights on one side• When a vehicle ahead is a two-
wheeled vehicle • The condition of the road (gradient, curve, condition of the road surface,
etc.) • The number of passengers and amount of luggage
●The light distribution control of the headlights may change unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar objects may not be detected.
●In the following situations the system may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness level. This may cause the low beams to remain on or the high beams to flash or daz-
zle pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In such a case, it is necessary to manu-ally switch between the high and low
beams. • When driving in inclement weather (heavy rain, snow, fog, sandstorms,
etc.) • When the windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• When the windshield is cracked or damaged• When the front camera is deformed or
dirty • When the temperature of the front camera is extremely high
• When the surrounding brightness level is equal to that of headlights, tail lights or fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of vehi- cles ahead are turned off, dirty, chang-ing color, or not aimed properly
• When the vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc., from a preceding vehicle
• When driving through an area of inter- mittently changing brightness and darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly driv- ing ascending/descending roads, or

214

roads with rough, bumpy or uneven
surfaces (such as stone-paved roads, gravel roads, etc.)• When frequently and repeatedly tak-
ing curves or driving on a winding road• When there is a highly reflective
object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or mirror• When the back of a preceding vehicle
is highly reflective, such as a con- tainer on a truck• When the vehicle’s headlights are
damaged or dirty, or are not aimed properly• When the vehicle is listing or tilting
due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed, etc.• When the headlights are changed
between the high beams and low beams repeatedly in an abnormal manner
• When the driver believes that the high beams may be flashing or dazzling pedestrians or other drivers
• When the vehicle 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-hand traffic
area, or vice versa

■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The power switch is in ON.
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sens-ing windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the Intermittent wiper interval.
■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
●The raindrop sensor judges the amount of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may
not operate properly when sunlight from the rising or setting of the sun intermittently strikes the windshield, or
if bugs etc. are present on the wind- shield.
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO mode while the power switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that
AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-
sor is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -15°C (5°F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate
the wipers in any mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in AUTO mode (vehicles with rain-sensing wind-
shield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched
or the windshield is subject to vibra- tion in AUTO mode. Take care that your fingers or anything else do not
become caught in the windshield wip- ers.
