Automatic high-beam system*
E00538200117
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.
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.

change)” on page 6-61
