The high beam headlights will automati-
cally illuminate at reduced brightness
when the engine has started, under the
following conditions: . The select lever is in a position other

3-34Instruments and controls
NOTE
When the control dial is turned fully
upward, the illumination brightness
becomes the maximum and the auto-
matic dimming function does not work
at all. Headlight beam leveler (if equipped)
The vehicle has High-Intensity Discharge
(HID) headlights on the low beam setting.
The HID 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 a heavy load.
The headlight beam leveler can be used
to adjust beam height to avoid such acondition.
Adjust the headlight beam level with the
following dial positions according to the
number of passengers and load condition.
