light will turn on.

NOTE

After manually changing the head-

light mode to the high beam, if you turn
on the high beam assist function,
return the light control switch to the
“AUTO” position.
.

When manually changing the head-

light mode to the high beam, if you turn
the light control switch to the “

”

position, the parking lights, front side

marker lights, rear side marker lights,
tail lights and license plate lights will
turn on.

Tips for the high beam assist sys-
tem

The high beam assist function recog-

nizes the condition surrounding the vehicle
based on the brightness of illumination
ahead of your vehicle, etc. Therefore, the
headlight mode may switch in some
situations that do not match to the driver’s
sense.
.

A bicycle or cargo cycle may not be

detected.
.

Under the following situations, the

brightness of ambient illumination may
not be detected correctly and the high
beam assist function may not work prop-
erly. As a result, the glare of the high beam
may disturb the oncoming vehicle or
vehicle ahead. Also, the low beam mode
may continue although there are no
oncoming vehicles and vehicles ahead.
In the such cases, change the headlight
mode manually.

– In bad weather (fog, snow, sand
storm, heavy rain, etc.).
– When the windshield glass is dirty or
fogged.
– When the windshield is cracked or
damaged.

Instruments and controls/Light control switch

(213,1)

北米Model "A2550BE-A" EDITED: 2018/ 5/ 9

– If there are lights similar to the
headlights or the tail lights in the
surrounding area.
– When an oncoming vehicle or ve-
hicle ahead is driven without its head-
lights and tail lights on.
– If the headlights of an oncoming
vehicle or the tail lights of a vehicle
ahead are dirty or discolored, or if the
light beams are not aimed correctly.
– When a rapid change of brightness
continues while driving.
– When driving on a road with many
ups and downs or uneven surfaces.
– When driving on a road with many
curves.
– When there are some objects that
reflect light strongly, such as a road
sign or a mirror in vehicle ahead.
– When the rear part of the vehicle
ahead, such as a container, reflects
light strongly.
– When the headlights of your vehicle
are damaged or dirty.
– When your vehicle is tilted, such as
in case the vehicle has a flat tire or is
being towed.
– When the inside mirror or the
camera is deformed or dirty (Type A).
– When the stereo camera is de-
formed or the stereo camera lenses
are dirty (Type B).

– Immediately after the engine has
started (Type B).

In the following conditions, the head-

light mode will not be automatically chan-
ged from the high beam to the low beam.

– When your vehicle passes an on-
coming vehicle suddenly in a blind
curve.
– When another vehicle passes in
front of your vehicle.
– When an oncoming vehicle or ve-
hicle ahead comes in and out of view
because of continuous curves, median
strips, roadside trees, etc.

If the camera (Type A)/stereo camera

(Type B) detects the light of the front fog
lights of an oncoming vehicle, the head-
light mode may change from the high
beam to the low beam automatically.
.

The headlight mode may change from

the high beam to the low beam, or the low
beam mode may continue, when affected
by a street light, traffic signal, illumination
of an advertisement board, or a reflective
object such as a road sign and signboard.
.

The timing of the change of headlight

mode may differ due to the following
factors.

Type A:
– the vehicle condition (e.g., number
of passengers or weight of loaded
cargo).

– surrounding situation (e.g., move-
ment and direction of an oncoming
vehicle or vehicle ahead).
– detection limitations of the camera
angle.
Type B:
– Color or brightness of the headlights
of an oncoming vehicle or the tail lights
of a vehicle ahead.
– The headlights of the oncoming
vehicle or the tail lights of the vehicle
ahead are covered with mud, snow,
etc.
– Movement and direction of an on-
coming vehicle or a vehicle ahead.
– When the headlights of an oncom-
ing vehicle or the tail lights of a vehicle
ahead illuminate on only one side.
– When the oncoming vehicle or
vehicle ahead is a motorcycle.
– Conditions of a road (slope, curve,
road surface, etc.).
– Number of passengers and weight
of loaded cargo.
– Limitation of the detection ability of
the stereo camera.

The target area of illumination when SRH
is not activated

SRH is a function that automatically moves
the headlight beam to the left or right in
accordance with the steering angle. This
function helps to improve the visibility at
night by illuminating the road ahead at
corners and intersections.
You can turn the SRH function on or off.
The settings can be changed by using the
combination meter display. For details,
refer to “SRH” F3-46.

Headlight beam leveler
(models with LED headlights)

The LED headlights generate more light
than conventional halogen headlights.
Therefore a driver of an oncoming vehicle
may experience too much glare when your
headlight beam height adjustment is high
due to the vehicle carrying heavy load.
The automatic headlight beam leveler
adjusts the headlight beam height auto-
matically and optimally according to the
load being carried by the vehicle.

turn signal lever up. To activate the left turn
signal, push the turn signal lever down.

the neutral position by hand.

To signal a lane change, push the turn
signal lever up or down slightly and hold it
during the lane change. The turn signal
indicator lights will flash in the direction of

indicator light three times, push the turn
signal lever up or down slightly and
