Using the Auto High-Beam System
If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient for driving, chang\
e the
headlight beams manually.
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 t\
he message
remains on even after driving for a while with the clean windshield, hav\
e your
vehicle checked by a dealer.
For the auto high-beam system 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 cle\
anser
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 strong impact, or repairing of the area near th\
e camera
is required, consult a dealer.
Auto High-Beam System*
Automatically changes the low beam headlights to high beam headlights wh\
en
necessary.
How It Works
When you are driving at night above 25 mph (40 km/h) and the headlight\
lever is
in the low beam position with the switch rotated to AUT
o, the system changes


between low and high beams depending on the surrounding conditions.
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you, the headlights stay in low beams.\
If the
system does not detect any vehicles ahead of you, the headlights change \
to high
beams.
Certain conditions, such as weather and brightness of other vehicles’\
lights, can
affect system operation.
Turning the System On or Off
Make sure the headlight lever is in the low beam
position with the switch rotated to the AUT
o
position. The auto high-beam system indicator
comes on.
The system is canceled temporarily when you drive at speeds below 15

mph (24
km/h), the vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h), or the windshield \
wipers run at
high speed for more than a few seconds.
To disable the system: When the vehicle is on and parked, pull the headlight lever
towards you and hold it for 40 seconds. The auto high-beam indicator bli\
nks twice.
To re-enable the system: Pull the headlight lever towards you and hold it for 30
seconds. The auto high-beam indicator blinks once.
To temporarily cancel operation, do either of the following:
•
Flash the high beams by moving the lever toward you. Flash the high beam\
s
again to resume auto high beam operation.
•
engage high beams by moving the lever into the high beam position. return the
lever to the low beam position to resume auto high beam operation.
