Daytime running light system

To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving, the
daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started
and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch off or in the
“AUTO” position. (Illuminate brighter than the front position lights.) Daytime
running lights are not designed for use at night.

■

Headlight control sensor (if equipped)

■

Automatic light off system



Type A

●

Vehicles without a smart entry & start system
• When the light switch is in the

position:

All lights turn off automatically if the engine switch is turned to the “ACC”
or “LOCK” position and the driver’s door is opened.

• When the light switch is in the

position:

The head lights and front fog lights (if equipped) turn off automatically if
the engine switch is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position and the
driver’s door is opened.

To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position, or

turn the light switch to the

position once and then back to the

position.

●

Vehicles with a smart entry & start system
• When the light switch is in the

position:

All lights turn off automatically if the engine switch is turned to ACCES-
SORY mode or turned off and the driver’s door is opened.

• When the light switch is in the

position:

The headlights and front fog lights (if equipped) turn off automatically if
the engine switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off. (A
buzzer sounds if the driver’s door is opened at this time.)

To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to the IGNITION ON
mode, or turn the light switch to the

position once and then back to

the

position.

The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the
windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

AHB (Automatic High Beam)



: If equipped

The Automatic High Beam uses an in-vehicle camera sensor to
assess the brightness of streetlights, the lights of vehicles
ahead etc., and automatically turns the high beam on or off as
necessary.

WARNING

■

Limitations of the Automatic High Beam

Do not rely on the Automatic High Beam. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings and turning the high beam on or off manually if
necessary.

■

To prevent incorrect operation of the Automatic High Beam system

Do not overload the vehicle.

High beam automatic turning on or off conditions

●

When all of the following conditions are fulfilled, the high beam will be auto-
matically turned on (after approximately 1 second):
• The vehicle speed is approximately 30 - 40 km/h (19 - 25mph)

or more.

• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no vehicles ahead with headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are few streetlights on the road ahead.

●

If any of the following conditions are fulfilled, the high beam will be automat-
ically turned off:
• The vehicle speed is below approximately 25 - 30 km/h (16 - 19mph)

• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.

: The vehicle speed at which the high beams are automatically turned on/

off may vary depending on the country for which the vehicle is approved.

■

Camera sensor detection information

●

The high beam may not be automatically turned off in the following situa-
tions:
• When oncoming vehicles suddenly appear from a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another vehicle
• When vehicles ahead are hidden from sight due to repeated curves, road

dividers or roadside trees

• When vehicles ahead appear from the faraway lane on wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no lights

●

The high beam may be turned off if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights
without using the headlights is detected.

●

Houselights, streetlights, traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs
may cause the high beam to switch to the low beams, or the low beams to
remain on.

●

The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn the high
beam on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has operational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient, curve, condition of the road surface

etc.)

• The number of passengers and amount of baggage

●

The high beam may be turned on or off when the driver does not expect it.

●

Bicycles or similar objects may not be detected.

318

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers

●

In the situations shown below, the system may not be able to accurately
detect surrounding brightness levels. This may cause the low beams to
remain on or the high beams to cause problems for pedestrians, vehicles
ahead or other parties. In these cases, manually switch between the high
and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The inside rear view mirror or camera sensor is deformed or dirty.
• The camera sensor temperature is extremely high.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail lights

or fog lights.

• Vehicles ahead have headlights that are either switched off, dirty, are

changing color, or are not aimed properly.

• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and

darkness.

• When the vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc. from a preceding vehi-

cle

• When driving on frequently and repeatedly ascending/descending roads,

or roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved
roads, gravel tracks etc.).

• When taking curves or driving on a frequently and repeatedly winding

road.

• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or

a mirror.

• The back of a vehicle ahead is highly reflective, such as a container on a

truck.

• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc.
• The high beam and low beam are repeatedly being switched between in

an abnormal manner.

• The driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems or dis-

tress to other drivers or pedestrians nearby.

■

If “Headlight System Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is displayed on the
multi-information display (if equipped)
