Driving
• When a vehicle ahead has no lights
• When the lights of a vehicle ahead are
dim
• When a vehicle ahead is reflecting strong
light, such as own headlights
• Situations in which the sensors may not
operate properly: P.244
● The headlights may change to the low
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 may
cause the high beams to change to the
low beams, or the low beams to remain
on.
● The following may change 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 headlights may change between the
high beams and low beams unexpect-
edly.
● 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-
lights or tail lights in the surrounding area
• When headlights or tail lights of vehicles
ahead are turned off, dirty, changing
color, or not aimed properly
• When the headlights are repeatedly
changing between the high beams and
low beams.
• When use of the high beams is inappro-
priate or when 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
• When it is necessary to disable the sys-
tem: P.239
• Situations in which the sensors may not
operate properly: P.244
