The auto high-beam indicator (Green) comes

■Temporary cancellation
The auto high-beam operation is  temporarily canceled while: 
• You are continuously driving at  a speed below 15 mph (24 km/h).
• The vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h).
• The windshield wipers run at high speed for more than a few seconds.
The system operation resumes once the condit ion that caused it to cancel improves.
■To Operate the System1To Operate the System
For the auto high-beam to work properly:
•Do not place an object that reflects light on the 
dashboard.
•Keep the windshield around the camera clean. 
When cleaning the windshield, be careful not to 
apply the windshield cleanser to the camera lens.
•Do not attach an object, sticker or film in the area 
around the camera.
•Do not touch the camera lens.
If the camera receives a st rong impact, or repairing of 
the area near the camera is  required, consult a dealer.
To help reduce the likel ihood that high interior 
temperatures will cause the camera system to shut 
off, when parking, find a shady area or face the front 
of the vehicle away from the sun.
If you use a reflective sun shade, do not allow it to 
cover the camera housing.  Covering the camera can 
concentrate heat on the camera.
If the Can Not Operate:   message appears:
Park your vehicle in a safe place. Wipe away debris 
blocking the windshield, then  start driving again. If 
the message remains on even after driving for a while 
with the clean windshield,  have your vehicle checked 
by a dealer.
