Automatic High Beam (AHB)
While driving at night, automatic high beam (AHB) uses the stereo camera to
determine the brightness of the oncoming vehicle's headlights, the preceding vehicle's
taillights, and street lights, and automatically switches the headlights between high
beam and low beam.
WARNING
• Do not rely entirely on the system. When driving, always pay attention to your
surroundings and drive safely by manually switching the headlights between
high beam and low beam as necessary.
• If the stereo camera cannot detect an object (another vehicle or light source)
or if the stereo camera temporarily stops or malfunctions, the AHB does not
operate.
• Do not modify the suspension or headlights, or remove the stereo camera.
Doing so may prevent the AHB from operating properly.
NOTE
• In the following situations, the headlights may not switch from high beam to low
beam automatically.
- When your vehicle suddenly passes an oncoming vehicle on a curve with
poor visibility
- When another vehicle crosses in front of your vehicle
- When an oncoming vehicle or the preceding vehicle appears and disappears
due to continuous curves, a median strip, or roadside trees, etc.
- When a vehicle in the forward direction approaches from a distant lane
- When a vehicle in the forward direction is driving without lights on
• The headlights may switch from high beam to low beam due to the fog lights of
an oncoming vehicle.
• The headlights may switch from high beam to low beam or the low beam
lights may remain on due to reflective objects, such as street lights, lights of
advertisements, road signs, or billboards.
