Situations where the system may not activate properly Under the following situations, the system may not activate. • Right after lane changing
If the dual sensor cannot detect partition lines except for above situations, the sys­tem may also not activate. Refer to "Situa­tions where the dual sensor may not activate properly" in this section for details.
High beam assist
After the auto high beam switch operation, head light is turned ON with the lighting control lever on "Auto" position when the ambient becomes dark, the system is acti­vated. When the high beam assist is acti­vated, high beam assist indicator light (green) comes on.

A. WARNING
• High beam assist has limits and may not function properly depend­ing on the surrou.nding environ­ment. Always drive in a safe manner, switch manually to the low beams and high beams (main beams), if necessary. Switching of the low beams and high beams (main beams) it might not match the feeling of the driver.
NOTE: Light vehicle such as a bicycle might not detect. When the sudden acceleration, high beam assist might not operate for a few seconds, even if vehicle speed exceeds 40kmlh (24.9 mph).

When high beam assist warning light (orange) is initially lighting immediately after the ignition switch is turned to "ON".
Under the following situations, high beam may not automatically switched to low beam. When you pass by an oncoming vehicle on a curvy road where the visibility is poor When another vehicle crosses in front of you When the vehicle in front of you glimpses due to continuous curves, medial strip or street trees When the vehicle in front of you approaches towards you from the far lane When the vehicle in front of you is driv­ing without lights
For the following cause, there is case where the switching timing of the high beam and low beam is varied. When the lights of the vehicle in front of you is dark When only one side of the lights of the vehicle in front of you is turned on The directions and movements of the vehicle in front of you When the vehicle in front of you is a motorcycle When driving on the following roads -On sharp curves or extremely rough surfaces -On a steep slope
When your vehicle is weighed down by heavy items in the luggage compartment or rear seat
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Under the following situations, the brightness of the surrounding area can not be detected accurately, and there is a case where the high beam is a nui­sance to pedestrians or the vehicle ahead, or low beam will remain to con­tinue. In these cases, change high beam or low beam manually. When lights are similar to headlights or taillights are around When the vehicle in front of you is driv­ing without lights When the headlights of oncoming vehi­cle are covered in dirt or discolored When the optical axis of the headlight of oncoming vehicle is deviated When the brightness is changed extremely and continuously When driving on an undulated or bumpy road When driving on the road with a lot of curves When there are things that strongly reflect light, such as road signs or mir­rors in front of the vehicle When the rear part of the preceding vehicle strongly reflects light, such as containers When the headlights of your car are damaged or covered in dirt When the vehicle is tilted due to the flat tyres or being towed
