• The vehicle speed is approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or more.
*
• There are no vehicles ahead with headlights or tail lights turned on.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.

●When all of the following conditions are met, the variable high beams will
turn on and the distance that the low beams are projected will be adjusted
automatically, depending on the location of vehicles ahead:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or more.
• There are vehicles ahead with headlights or tail lights turned on.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.

ahead that is using fog lights without its headlights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs
may cause the high beams to change to the variable high beams, cause the
high beams not to change to the variable high beams, or change the area
that is not illuminated.
