uses a camera sensor located
behind the upper portion of the
windshield to assess the
brightness of the lights of vehi-

sary.
WARNING
■Limitations of the Automatic High Beam
Do not overly rely on the Automatic
High Beam. Always drive safely, tak- ing care to observe your surroundings and turning the high beams on or off
manually if necessary.
■To prevent incorrect operation of
the Automatic High Beam system
Do not overload the vehicle.

2Turn the headlight switch to the
or position.
The Automatic High Beam indicator will
come on when the system is operating.
■Conditions to turn the high beams
on/off automatically
●When all of the following conditions
are met, the high beams will be turned
on automatically (after approximately
1 second):
• The vehicle speed is approximately 30
km/h (19 mph) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no vehicles ahead with
headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are few streetlights on the road
ahead.
●If any of the following conditions are
met, the high beams will turn off auto-
matically:
• The vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 25 km/h (16 mph).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not
dark.
• Vehicles ahead have their headlights
or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the
road ahead.
■Camera sensor detection informa-
tion
●The high beams may not be automati-
cally turned off in the following situa-
tions:
• When a vehicle suddenly appears
from around a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another vehicle
• When vehicles ahead cannot be
detected due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear in a far-
away lane on a wide road
• When the lights of vehicles ahead are
not on
●The high beams may be turned off if a
vehicle ahead that is using fog lights
without its headlights turned on is
detected.
●House lights, streetlights, traffic sig-
nals, and illuminated billboards or
signs and other reflective objects may
cause the high beams to change to
the low beams, or the low beams to
remain on.
●The following factors may affect the
amount of time taken for the high
beams to turn on or off:
• The brightness of the 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 in the vehicle
●The high beams may turn on or off
unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar vehicles 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,
