Auto High-Beam
Using a camera mounted to the inside of the windshield, this system detects light 
sources ahead of the vehicle. Depend ing on the light source, the system 
automatically switches the headlights to hi gh beam for optimal visibility at night.1Auto High-Beam
The auto high-beam determines when to change the 
headlight beams by responding to the brightness of 
the lights ahead of your vehicle. In the following 
cases, the system may not respond to the lights 
properly:
•The brightness of the lights from the preceding or 
oncoming vehicle is intense or poor.
•Visibility is poor due to  the weather (rain, snow, 
fog, windshield frost, etc.).
•Other light sources, such as  streetlights and electric 
billboards are illumina ting the road ahead.
•The brightness level of th e road ahead constantly 
changes.
•The road is bumpy or with many curves.
•A vehicle cuts in front of you, or a vehicle in front 
of you is not in the preceding or oncoming 
direction.
•Your vehicle is tilted with heavy load in the rear.
If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient 
for driving, change the  headlight beams manually.
■The headlight switch is in 
AUTO. 
■The lever is in the low beam 
position. 
■The low beams are on and the 
system recognizes that you are 
driving at night.
■The vehicle speed is above 
25 mph (40 km/h).
The system operates when:
When the camera detects lig hts coming from a preceding or oncoming vehicle, the 
headlights remain in low beam.
When the camera detects no lights coming  from a preceding or oncoming vehicle, 
the headlights change to high beam.
The view angle or distance that the camera can detect lights ahead differs 
depending on conditions, such as the brightness of the lights and the weather.

Controls
To activate the system, turn the headlight 
switch to  AUTO and then set the headlights 
to low beam. The auto high-beam indicator 
will come on.
2 Light Switches  P. 193
The high beams remain on unless:
•You have been driving below 15 mph (24 km/h) for an extended amount of time.
• The speed of the vehicle drops below 6 mph (10 km/h).
• The windshield wipers have been running  at a high speed for more than a few 
seconds.
• You enter a well lit location.
The high beams come back on once the condition that caused them to turn off no 
longer exists.
If needed, you can temporarily turn the high beams off manually. Turn on the high 
beams by pushing the lever forward until yo u hear a click, or flash the high beams 
once by pulling the lever toward you. To turn the high beams back on, repeat one 
of the procedures.
■Operating the System1 Operating 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 cleans er to the camera lens.
•Do not attach an object, sticker or film to the area 
around the camera.
•Do not touch the camera lens.
If you do not want the system  to be activated at any 
time when the headlight switch is in  AUTO, consult a 
dealer or disable the system. 2 Disabling or Re-enabling the System  P. 199
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 sh ady 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   message appears:
•Park your vehicle in a sa fe place, and clean the 
windshield. If the message  does not disappear after 
you have cleaned the winds hield and driven for a 
while, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
