The high-beam headlamps illuminate whenall of the following conditions are met:
l Your vehicle speed exceeds approxi-
mately 40 km/h (25 mph).
Combination headlamps and dipper switch
6-55OGGE18E1Instruments and controls6

lIt is dark ahead of your vehicle.
l There are no vehicles in front or oncom-
ing vehicles, or none of their exterior
lamps are illuminated.
The low beam headlamps illuminate when any of the following conditions occur:
l Your vehicle speed does not exceed ap-
proximately 30 km/h (19 mph).
l It is bright ahead of your vehicle.
l An exterior lamp of a vehicle in front or
oncoming vehicle is illuminating.NOTEl The headlamps may not be switched from
high-beam to low beam under the following circumstances.
• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
hindered by any object such as continuous
bends, elevated median/island, traffic
signs, roadside trees.
• Your vehicle passes an oncoming vehicle
suddenly on a bend with poor visibility.
• Another vehicle crosses ahead of your ve-
hicle.
l The headlamps may remain at low beam (or
be switched from high-beam to low beam)
when a reflective object (e.g. street lamp,
traffic signal, noticeboard and signboard) re- flects light.
l Any of the following factors may influence
the headlamp beam switching timing:NOTE• How brightly the exterior lamps of a vehi-
cle in front or oncoming vehicle illumi-
nate.
• Movement or direction of a vehicle in
front or oncoming vehicle.
• Only right or left exterior lamp of a vehi-
cle in front or oncoming vehicle is illumi-
nating.
• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
a motorcycle.
• Road conditions (gradient, bends and road
surface).
• The number of occupants and luggage
load.
l The AHB recognises environmental condi-
tions by sensing a light source ahead of your
vehicle. Therefore, you may feel like some- thing is not quite right when the headlamp
beams are switched automatically.
l The system may not detect a light vehicle
such as a bicycle.
l The system may not detect an ambient
brightness precisely. This causes the traffic to be dazzled by high-beam or the low beam to be maintained. In such cases, you should
switch the headlamp beams manually.
• In bad weather (heavy rain, fog, snow or
sandstorm).
• The windscreen is dirty or fogged up.
• The windscreen is cracked or broken.
• The sensor is deformed or dirty.
• A light that is similar to the headlamps or
tail lamps is shining around your vehicle.NOTE• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
driven without lights, the exterior lamps are dirty or discoloured, or the direction
of the headlamp beams is adjusted im- properly.
• It becomes dark and bright suddenly and
continuously around your vehicle.
• Your vehicle is driven on uneven surfa-
ces.
• Your vehicle is driven on a winding road.
• A reflective object such as a noticeboard
or a mirror reflects a light ahead of your vehicle.
• When lamps of the vehicle in front or
headlamps of an oncoming vehicle blend into the other lamps.
• The rear end of a vehicle in front (such as
a container truck) reflect a strong light.
• Your vehicle’s headlamp is broken or
dirty.
• Your vehicle is inclined due to a flat tyre
or towing.
• The warning display appears.
(Refer to “System problem warning” on
page 6-57.)
l Observe the precautions below to maintain
good usage conditions:
• Do not attempt to disassemble the sensor.
• Do not affix a sticker or label on the
windscreen near the sensor.
• Avoid overload.
