Auris Touring Sports_EE (OM12G98E)
Push the lever away from you with
the headlight switch in
position.
The Automatic High Beam indica-
tor will come on when the head-
lights are turned on automatically
to indicate that the system is
active.
When all of the following conditions are fulfilled, high beam will be
automatically turned on (after approximately 1 second):
Vehicle speed is above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
There are no oncoming or preceding vehicles with headlights or tail
lights turned on.
There are few streetlights on the road ahead.
If any of the following conditions are fulfilled, high beam will be auto-
matically turned off:
Vehicle speed drops below approximately 30 km/h (19 mph).
The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
Oncoming or preceding vehicles have headlights or tail lights
turned on.
There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
Automatic High Beam
: If equipped
The Automatic High Beam uses an in-vehicle camera sensor to
assess the brightness of streetlights, the lights of oncoming and
preceding vehicles, etc., and automatically turns high beam on
or off as necessary.

Driving
Switching to low beam
Pull the lever to original posi-
tion.
The Automatic High Beam indi-
cator will turn off.
Push the lever away from you to
activate the Automatic High
Beam system again.
Switching to high beam
Turn the light switch to
position.
The Automatic High Beam indi-
cator will turn off and the high

The Automatic High Beam can be operated when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Camera sensor detection information
High beam may not be automatically turned off in the following situations:
• When oncoming vehicles suddenly appear from a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another
• When oncoming or preceding vehicles are hidden from sight due to
repeated curves, road dividers or roadside trees
High beam may be turned off if an oncoming vehicle that is using fog lights
without using the headlights is detected.
House lights, street lights, red traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or
signs may cause the high beam to turn off.
Turning the high beam on/off manually
2284-3. Operating the lights and wipers
Auris Touring Sports_EE (OM12G98E)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
• The movement and direction of oncoming and preceding vehicles
• When a oncoming or preceding vehicle only has operational lights on one
side
• When a oncoming or preceding vehicle 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 luggage
High beam may be turned on or off when unexpected by the driver.
In the situations below, the system may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness levels, and may flash or expose nearby pedestrians
to the high beam. Therefore, you should consider turning the high beams on
or off manually rather than relying on the Automatic High Beam system.
• 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.
• 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 have are not aimed properly.
• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and
darkness.
• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads, or
roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved
roads, gravel tracks etc.).
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a winding
road.
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or
a mirror.
• 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 driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems or dis-
tress to other drivers or pedestrians nearby.
Customization
The Automatic High Beam can be turned off.
