operates to switch the headlights
automatically between high and low
beams after the ignition is switched ON
and the headlight switch is in the AUTO

Control System (HBC) switches the
headlights to low beams.
 y The low beams may not switch to high
beams when cornering.

y Operation of the High Beam Control
System (HBC) function can be disabled.
