Auto High-Beam
Uses the camera attached to the windshield, monitors the space ahead of your
vehicle, and automatically changes the low beam headlights to high beam
headlights when necessary.
1Auto High-Beam
The auto high-beam determines when to change the
headlight beams by responding to the brightness of
the lights ahead of your vehicle. In the following
cases, the system may not respond to the lights
properly:
• The brightness of the lights from the preceding or
oncoming vehicle is intense or poor.
• Visibility is poor due to the weather (rain, snow,
fog, windshield frost, etc.).
• Other light sources, such as street lights and
electric billboards are illuminating the road ahead.
• The brightness level of the road ahead constantly
changes.
• The road is bumpy or with many curves.
• A vehicle cuts in front of you, or a vehicle in front
of you is not in the preceding or oncoming
direction.
• Your vehicle is tilted with a heavy load in the rear.
If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient
for driving, change the headlight beams manually.
■ The headlight switch is in AUTO.
■ The lever is in the low beam
position.
■ The system recognizes that you
are driving at night and the low
beam headlights come on.
■ The vehicle speed is above 35 mph
(56 km/h).
The system operates when:
The camera is not detecting any lights coming from preceding or oncoming
vehicles: The headlights change to high beams.
25-degrees
The camera detects lights coming from a preceding or oncoming vehicle: The
headlights are returned to low beams.
The camera monitors the range within the 50-degrees view angle. The distance
that the camera can detect lights ahead differs depending on conditions, such as
the brightness of the lights and the weather.
The system changes between high and low beam headlights when:
