To Operate the System

The 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 low beam position.

The HBC determines that it is dark

based on the brightness of the

surrounding area. At the same time,

the HBC indicator light (green) in the

instrument cluster illuminates.

NOTE

Operation of the HBC function can be

disabled.

Refer to the Settings section in the

Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
