beam depending on the situation.
When all of the following conditions have  been met, the auto high-beam indicator 
comes on and the auto high-beam is activated.
•The power mode is in ON.
• The light switch is in  AUTO.
• The lever is in the low beam position.

If the auto high-beam indica tor does not come on even when all the conditions have 
been met, carry out the following procedure and the indicator will come on.
• Pull the lever toward you for flashing the high beams then release it while driving.1Auto High-Beam
The auto high-beam system  does not always operate 
in every situation. This syst em is just for assisting the 
driver. Always observe your  surroundings and switch

manually if necessary.
If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient 
for driving, change the  headlight beams manually.
The range and the distance at which the camera can 
recognize varies de pending on conditions 
surrounding your vehicle.
