Auto High-Beam

The front wide view camera detects the light sources ahead of the vehicle such as 
the lights of a preceding or oncoming vehicle, or street lights. When you are driving 
at night, the system automatically switches the headlights between low beam and 
high beam depending on the situation.

When all of the following conditions have been met, the auto high-beam indicator 
comes on and the auto high-beam is activated.

•

The power mode is in ON.

•

The light switch is in 

AUTO

.

•

The lever is in the low beam position.

•

The headlights have been automatically 
activated.

•

It is dark outside the vehicle.

If the auto high-beam indicator does not come on even when all the conditions have 
been met, carry out the following procedure and the indicator will come on.

•

Pull the lever toward you for flashing the high beams then release it while driving.

The auto high-beam system does not always operate 
in every situation. This system is just for assisting the 
driver. Always observe your surroundings and switch 
the headlights between high beam and low beam 
manually if necessary.

If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient 
for driving, change the headlight beams manually.

The range and the distance at which the camera can 
recognize varies depending on conditions 
surrounding your vehicle.

Regarding the handling of the camera mounted to 
the inside of the windshield, refer to the following.

For the auto high-beam to work properly:

•

Do not place an object that reflects light on the 
dashboard.

•

Keep the windshield around the camera clean. 
When cleaning the windshield, be careful not to 
apply the windshield cleanser to the camera lens.

•

Do not attach an object, sticker or film to the area 
around the camera.

•

Do not touch the camera lens.

If the camera receives a strong impact, or repairing of 
the area near the camera is required, consult a dealer.
