         To Operate the System

    The High Beam Control System (HBC) 

operates to switch the headlights 

automatically between high and low 

beams after the ignition is switched ON 

and the headlight switch is in the AUTO 

and high beam position.

The High Beam Control System (HBC) 

determines that it is dark based on the 

brightness of the surrounding area. At the 

same time, the High Beam Control System 

(HBC) indicator light (green) in the 

instrument cluster illuminates.

     NOTE

  When the vehicle speed is 30 km/h 

(19 mph) or higher, the headlights 

automatically switch to high beams 

when there are no vehicles ahead or 

approaching in the opposite direction.

  When the vehicle speed is less than 

about 20 km/h (12 mph), the High Beam 

Control System (HBC) switches the 

headlights  to  low  beams.

  The low beams may not switch to high 

beams when cornering.
