 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. At the same time, 
the High Beam Control System (HBC) 
indicator light (green) in the instrument 
cluster illuminates.

  The High Beam Control System (HBC) 
determines that it is dark based on the 
brightness of the surrounding area.

   NOTE

(18 mph) or higher, the headlights 
automatically switch to high beams

about 20 km/h (12 mph), the High 
Beam Control System (HBC) switches 
the headlights to low beams.
