How to Use the Auto High-Beam

Auto High-Beam

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.

Front Sensor Camera

P. 542

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.

Automatic switching between high-beam and low-beam

When the auto high-beam indicator comes on, the headlights switch between high
beam and low beam based on the following conditions.

How to Use the Auto High-Beam

In the following cases, the auto high-beam system
may not switch the headlights properly or the
switching timing may be changed. In case of the
automatic switching operation does not fit for your
driving habits, please switch the headlights manually.

•

The brightness of the lights from the preceding or
oncoming vehicle is intense or poor.

•

Visibility is poor due to the weather (rain, snow,
fog, windshield frost, etc.).

ahead is reflecting strong light toward the vehicle.

•

The oncoming vehicle frequently disappears under
roadside trees or behind median barriers.

•

The preceding or oncoming vehicle is a motorcycle,
bicycle, mobility scooter, or other small vehicle.

The auto high-beam system keeps the headlight low
beam when:

•

Windshield wipers are operating at a high speed.

•

The camera has detected a dense fog.

High beam

All of the following conditions must
be met before the high beams turn
on.

●

Your vehicle speed is 25 mph (40
km/h) or more.

●

There are no preceding or
oncoming vehicle with headlights
or taillights turned on.

●

There are few street lights on the
road ahead.

Low beam

One of the following conditions
must be met before the low beams
turn on.

●

Your vehicle speed is 15 mph (24
km/h) or less.

●

There is a preceding or oncoming
vehicle with headlights or
taillights turned on.

Front Seats

Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible
while allowing you to maintain full control of
the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright,
well back in the seat and be able to
adequately press the pedals without leaning
forward, and grip the steering wheel
comfortably. The passenger’s seat should be
adjusted in a similar manner, so that it is as far
back from the front airbag in the dashboard
as possible.

■

Adjusting the front power seats

Seats

Always make seat adjustments before driving.

Front Seats

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Sitting too close to a front airbag can result
in serious injury or death if the front
airbags inflate.

Always sit as far back from the front
airbags as possible while maintaining
control of the vehicle.

Move back.

Allow sufficient
