• The vehicle speed is approximately 19
mph (30 km/h) or more
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
● When all of the following conditions are
met, the headlights will change to the

position of vehicles ahead:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 19
mph (30 km/h) or more
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There is a vehicle ahead with lights on.
• There are few streetlights or other lights

• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• There are many vehicles ahead.
• There are many streetlights or other

■ Front camera detection
● In the following situations, the high beams
may not be automatically changed to the
shaded high beams:
• When a vehicle cuts in front of your vehi-
cle
• When another vehicle crosses in front of
the vehicle
• When vehicles ahead are repeatedly
detected and then hidden due to
repeated curves, road dividers or road-
side trees
• When a vehicle ahead approaches from
a far lane
• When a vehicle ahead is far away
• When a vehicle ahead has no lights
• When the lights of a vehicle ahead are
dim
• When a vehicle ahead is reflecting strong

● The high beams may change 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 signals,
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 may change the speed at
which the shaded areas change or the
timing at which the headlights change to
the low beams:
• The brightness of lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehicles
ahead
• The distance between the vehicle and a
vehicle ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has lights illu-
minated 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 head-
lights may not match the driver’s expec-
tations
● Bicycles and other small vehicles may not
be detected.
● In the following situations, the system may
not be able to correctly detect the bright-
ness of the surroundings. This may cause
the low beams to remain on or the high
beams to flash or dazzle pedestrians or
vehicles ahead. In such a case, it is neces-
sary to manually change between the
high beams and low beams.
• When there are lights similar to head-
