Driving
When all of the following conditions are fulfilled, high beam will be automatically
turned on (after approximately 1 second):
●Vehicle speed is above approximately 20 mph (32 km/h).
●The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
●There are no oncoming or preceding vehicles with headlights or tail lights
turned on.
If any of the following conditions are fulfilled, high beam will be automatically
turned off:
●Vehicle speed drops below approximately 20 mph (32 km/h).
●The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
●Oncoming or preceding vehicles have headlights or tail lights turned on.
■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 high beam on or off manually if necessary.
■Camera sensor detection information
●High beam may not be automatically tu rned off in the following situations:
• When oncoming vehicles sudd enly appear from a curve.
• When another vehicle cuts across in front of you.
●High beam may be turned off if an oncoming vehicle that is using fog lights without
using the headlights is detected.
●Houselights, streetlights, red traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs may
cause the high beam to turn off.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn high beam on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of oncoming and preceding
vehicles
• Road conditions (wetness, ice, snow etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of baggage
●High beam may be turned on or off when unexpected by the driver.

GX460_OM_OM60L72U_(U)4-5. Using the driving support systems
■Temporary cancelation of the LDA system
If any of the following occurs, the LDA system
will be temporarily canceled. The functions
will resume after the necessary oper ating conditions have returned.
●The turn signal lever is operated.
●The brake pedal is depressed.
●The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LDA system.
●The lane lines cannot be recognized while driving.
●The wiper operates continuously.
●When the lane departure warning function is activated.
Once the lane departure warning function is activated, it will be temporarily canceled
and resume a few seconds later.
■The lane departure warning
Depending on the audio system sound level or air conditioning fan noise while the audio
system or air conditioning system is in use, it may be difficult to hear the warning sound.
■After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA system may not be available and a warning message ( P. 522) will be dis-
played for a while after driving has started. When the temperature in the cabin decreases
and the temperature around the camera sensor ( P. 232) becomes suitable for its
operation, the functions will begin to operate.
