! How to change the headlight
mode manually
Change to the low beam:
When you return the turn signal lever to
the center position, the high beam assist
function will turn off and the high beam
assist indicator will turn off.
Change to the high beam:
When you turn the light control switch to
the “
”position, the headlight mode will
be changed to the high beam.
At this time, the high beam assist function
will turn off, the high beam assist indicator
will turn off and the high beam indicator
light will turn on.
NOTE
. After manually changing the head-
light mode to the high beam, if you turn
on the high beam assist function,
return the light control switch to the
“ AUTO ”position.
. When manually changing the head-
light mode to the high beam, if you turn
the light control switch to the “
”
position, the parking lights, front side
marker lights, rear side marker lights,
tail lights and license plate lights will turn on.
! Tips for the high beam assist
system
. The high beam assist function recog-
nizes the condition surrounding the vehi-
cle based on the brightness of illumination
ahead of your vehicle, etc. Therefore, the
headlight mode may switch in some
situations that do not match to the driver ’s
sense.
. A bicycle or cargo cycle may not be
detected.
. Under the fo llowing situations, the
brightness of ambient illumination may
not be detected correctly and the high
beam assist function may not work prop-
erly. As a result, the glare of the high beam
may disturb the driving of an oncoming
vehicle or vehicle ahead. Also, the low
beam mode may continue although there
are no oncoming vehicles and vehicles
ahead. In the such cases, change the
headlight mode manually.
–In bad weather (fog, snow, sand
storm, heavy rain, etc.)
– When the windshield glass is dirty
or fogged
– When the windshield is cracked or
damaged
– Whentheinsidemirrororthe
camera is deformed or dirty –
If there are lights similar to the
headlights or the tail lights in the
surrounding area
– When an oncoming vehicle or ve-
hicle ahead is driven without its head-
lights and tail lights on
– If the headlights of an oncoming
vehicle or the tail lights of a vehicle
ahead are dirty or discolored, or if the
light beams are not aimed correctly
– When a rapid change of brightness
continues while driving
– When driving on a road with many
ups and downs or uneven surfaces
– When driving on a road with many
curves
– When there are some objects that
reflect light strongly, such as a road
sign or a mirror in vehicle ahead
– When the rear part of the vehicle
ahead, such as a container, reflects
light strongly
– When the headlights of your vehicle
are damaged or dirty
– When your vehicle is tilted, such as
in case the vehicle has a flat tire or is
being towed
. In the following conditions, the head-
light mode will not be automatically chan-
ged from the high beam to the low beam.
–When your vehicle passes an on-
coming vehicle suddenly in a blind
3-52

curve
–When another vehicle passes in
front of your vehicle
– When an oncoming vehicle or ve-
hicle ahead comes in and out of view
because of continuous curves, median
strips, roadside trees, etc.
. If the camera detects the light of the
front fog lights of an oncoming vehicle, the
headlight mode may change from the high
beam to the low beam automatically.
. The headlight mode may change from
the high beam to the low beam, or the low
beam mode may continue, when affected
by a street light, traffic signal, illumination
of an advertisement board, or a reflective
object such as a road sign and signboard.
. The timing of the change of headlight
mode may differ due to the following
factors.
–the vehicle condition (e.g., number
of passengers or weight of loaded
cargo)
– surrounding situation (e.g., move-
ment and direction of an oncoming
vehicle or vehicle ahead)
– detection limitations of the camera

windshield washer until the wind-
shield is sufficiently warmed by the
defroster.
Otherwise the washer fluid can
freeze on the windshield, blocking
your view.
CAUTION
.Do not operate the washer con-
tinuously for more than 10 sec-
onds, or when the washer fluid
tank is empty. This may cause
overheating of the washer motor.

the windshield or rear window is
dry. This may scratch the glass,
damage the blade rubbers and
might cause the wiper motor to
fail. Before operating the wiper
