3-1. Driving when the surrounding area is dark
The level of the headlights is automati-
cally adjusted according to the number
of passengers and the loading condi-
tion of the vehicle to ensure that the
headlights do not interfere with other
road users.
According to the vehicle speed, the
brightness and illuminated area of
the high beams are adjusted.
The high beams are illuminated so
that the area around a vehicle ahead
is shaded. (Shaded high beam)
The shaded high beam helps ensure for-
ward visibility while reducing the dazzling
effect on the drivers of vehicles ahead.
