Safe Driving
■When a side airbag deploys with little or no visible damage
Because the airbag system senses sudden acceleration, a strong impact to the side
of the vehicle's framework can cause a side airbag to deploy. In such cases, there
may be little or no damage, but the side impact sensors detected a severe enough
impact to deploy the airbag.
■When a side airbag may not deploy, even though visible damage appears
severe
It is possible for a side airbag to not deploy during an impact that results in
apparently severe damage. This can occur when the point of impact was toward the
far front or rear of the vehicle, or when the vehicle's crushable body parts absorbed
most of the crash energy. In either case , the side airbag would not have been
needed nor provided protection even if it had deployed.

• Pull the lever toward you for flashing the high beams then release it while driving.
■Automatic switching between high-beam and low-beam
When auto high-beam is ac tive, the headlights switch between high beam and low
beam based on the following conditions.
Switching to high beam:Switching to low beam:
All of the following conditions must
be met before the high beams turn
on.
●Your vehicle speed is 25 mph (40
km/h) or more.
●There are no preceding or
oncoming vehicle with headlights
or taillights turned on.
●There are few street lights on the

km/h) or less.
●There is a preceding or oncoming
vehicle with headlights or
taillights turned on.
●There are many street lights on
the road ahead.
1 How to Use the Auto High-Beam
In the following cases, th e auto high-beam system
may not switch the head lights properly or the
switching timing may be ch anged. In case of the
automatic switching operati on does not fit for your
driving habits, please swit ch the headlights manually.
•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.).
•Surrounding light sources, such as street lights,
electric billboards and traf fic lights are illuminating
the road ahead.
•The brightness level of th e road ahead constantly
changes.
•The road is bumpy or has many curves.•A vehicle suddenly appears in front of you, or a
vehicle in front of you is not in the preceding or
oncoming direction.
•Your vehicle is tilted with a heavy load in the rear.•A traffic sign, mirror, or other reflective object
ahead is reflecting strong light toward the vehicle.
•The oncoming vehicle freq uently disappears under
roadside trees or be hind median barriers.
•The preceding or oncoming vehicle is a motorcycle,
bicycle, mobility scooter, or other small vehicle.
The auto high-beam system keeps the headlight low
beam when:
•Windshield wipers are op erating at a high speed.
•The camera has been detected a dense fog.
