High beam operation
To turn on the high beam headlights, push
the lever away from you. Pull it back for
low beams. The high beam indicator will light when
the headlight high beams are switched on.
To prevent the battery from being dis-
charged, do not leave the lights on for aprolonged time whilst the engine is not
running. To flash the headlights, pull the lever
towards you. It will return to the normal
(low beam) position when released. The
headlight switch does not need to be on
to use this flashing feature.
CAUTION
Never place anything over sensor
(1) located on the instrument
panel, this will ensure better auto-light system control.
Don’t clean the sensor using a window cleaner, the cleanser may
leave a light film which could interfere with sensor operation.
If your vehicle has window tint or other types of metallic coating onthe front windscreen, the Auto
light system may not work prop-erly.

Traffic Change (For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is asym-
metric. If you go abroad to a country with
opposite traffic direction, this asymmetric
part will dazzle oncoming car driver. To
prevent dazzle, ECE regulation demand
several technical solutions (ex. automatic
change system, adhesive sheet, down
aiming). This headlamps are designed
not to dazzle opposite drivers. So, you
need not change your headlamps in a
country with opposite traffic direction.
