CONTROL
(IF EQUIPPED)
HOW DOES AUTOMATIC HIGH
BEAM CONTROL WORK
Automatic high beam control turns the
high beams on if it is dark enough and no
other traffic is present. If it detects an
approaching vehicle ’s headlamps or tail
lamps, or street lighting ahead, the system
turns the high beams off.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions to turn
the high beams on and off.
