NOTE
l
The high-beams can also flash when the
lamp switch is OFF.
l
If you turn the lamps off with the headlamps
set to high-beam, the headlamps are auto-
matically returned to their low-beam setting
when the lamp switch is next turned to the
“ ” position.
Automatic High-Beam (AHB)*
The system switches the headlamp beams
(high/low) when the sensor (A) senses an il-
luminant such as lights of a vehicle in front
or oncoming vehicle or street lamp.
For details about handling the sensor, refer to
“Handling of the sensor” on page 6-53.
WARNING
l
The headlamp beams (high/low) may not
be switched automatically under certain
circumstances. Do not overestimate the
system. It is the responsibility of the driv-
er to switch the headlamp beams (high/
low) manually to suit each driving condi-
tion.
Refer to “Dipper (High/Low beam
change)” on page 5-52.
How to use the AHB
1. Rotate the lamp switch to “ ” position
or “AUTO” position when the engine is
running.
2. Press the AHB switch.
The AHB is activated and the indicator

AHB will be deactivated and AHB indi-
cator will go off.
NOTE
l
If the headlamps are on when the lamp
switch is in the “AUTO” position, the AHB
works.
l
You can switch the headlamp beams (high/
low) manually by operating the lever even if
the AHB is working.
Refer to “Dipper (High/Low beam change)”
on page 5-52.
If the lever is operated manually, the AHB
indicator will go off and the AHB will be de-
activated.
Refer to “Manual switching” on page 5-53.

The AHB is not deactivated when you pull
the lever slightly (operation of the headlamp
flasher).
