Switches and Controls

 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

  When the vehicle speed is 30 km/h 

(18 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.
