4-3.Operating the lights and wipers
Operating the switch turns
on the lights as follows:
1 The headlights, daytime
running lights ( →P.144) and all
the lights listed below turn on
and off automatically.
2 The front position, tail,
license plate and instrument
panel lights turn on.
3 The headlights and all the
lights listed above turn on.
■AUTO mode can be used when
The engine switch is in ON.
■Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers during daytime driving, the
daytime running lights turn on automati-
cally whenever the engine is started and
the parking brake is released with the

(Illuminate brighter than the front posi-
tion lights.) Daytime running lights are
not designed for use at night.
■Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or anything that blocks the sensor is affixed to the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting the level of ambient light and may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

or position.
The Automatic High Beam indicator will come on when the system is operating.
■Conditions to turn the high beams on/off automatically
●When all of the following conditions are met, the high beams will be turned
on automatically (after approximately 1 second):• The vehicle speed is approximately 30
km/h (19 mph) or more. • The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.• There are no vehicles ahead with
headlights or tail lights turned on. • There are few streetlights on the road ahead.
●If any of the following conditions are met, the high beams will turn off auto-
matically: • The vehicle speed is below approxi-mately 25 km/h (16 mph).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.• Vehicles ahead have their headlights
or tail lights turned on. • There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
■Front camera detection information
●The high beams may not be automati-cally turned off in the following situa-
tions: • When a vehicle suddenly appears from around a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another vehicle
Automatic High Beam*
The Automatic High Beam
uses a front camera located
behind the upper portion of the
windshield to assess the
brightness of the lights of vehi-
cles ahead, streetlights, etc.,
and automatically turns the
high beams on or off as neces-
sary.
WARNING
■Limitations of the Automatic High Beam
Do not overly rely on the Automatic
High Beam. Always drive safely, tak- ing care to observe your surroundings and turning the high beams on or off
manually if necessary.

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
• When vehicles ahead cannot be
detected due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear in a far-
away lane on a wide road
• When the lights of vehicles ahead are
not on
●The high beams may be turned off if a
vehicle ahead that is using fog lights
without its headlights turned on is
detected.
●House lights, streetlights, traffic sig-
nals, and illuminated billboards or
signs and other reflective objects may
cause the high beams to change to
the low beams, or the low beams to
remain on.
●The following factors may affect the
amount of time taken for the high
beams to turn on or off:
• The brightness of the headlights, fog
lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehi-
cles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has oper-
ational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-
wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient,
curve, condition of the road surface,
etc.)
• The number of passengers and
amount of luggage in the vehicle
●The high beams may turn on or off
unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar vehicles may not
be detected.
●In the following situations the system
may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness level. This
may cause the low beams to remain
on or the high beams to flash or daz-
zle pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In
such a case, it is necessary to manu-
ally switch between the high and low
beams.
• When driving in inclement weather
(heavy rain, snow, fog, sandstorms,
etc.)
• When the windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• When the windshield is cracked or
damaged
• When the front camera is deformed or
dirty
• When the temperature of the front
camera is extremely high
• When the surrounding brightness
level is equal to that of headlights, tail
lights or fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of vehi-
cles ahead are turned off, dirty, chang-
ing color, or not aimed properly
• When the vehicle is hit by water,
snow, dust, etc., from a preceding
vehicle
• When driving through an area of inter-
mittently changing brightness and
darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly driv-
ing ascending/descending roads, or
roads with rough, bumpy or uneven
surfaces (such as stone-paved roads,
gravel roads, etc.)
• When frequently and repeatedly tak-
ing curves or driving on a winding
road
• When there is a highly reflective
object ahead of the vehicle, such as a
sign or mirror
• When the back of a preceding vehicle
is highly reflective, such as a con-
tainer on a truck
• When the vehicle’s headlights are
damaged or dirty, or are not aimed
properly
• When the vehicle is listing or titling
due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed,
etc.
• When the headlights are changed
between the high beams and low
beams repeatedly in an abnormal
manner
• When the driver believes that the high
beams may be flashing or dazzling
pedestrians or other drivers

Driving
4 Temporary operation
When “AUTO” is selected, the wipers
will operate automatically when the
sensor detects falling rain. The system
automatically adjusts wiper timing in
accordance with rain volume and vehi-
cle speed.
When “AUTO” is selected, the sen-
sor sensitivity can be adjusted as
follows by turning the switch ring.
5 Increases the rain-sensing wind-
shield wiper sensitivity
6 Decreases the rain-sensing
windshield wiper sensitivity
7 Washer/wiper dual oper-
ation
Pulling the lever operates the wipers
and washer.
Wipers will automatically operate a cou-
ple of times after the washer squirts.
■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in ON.
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation
Vehicle speed affects the Intermittent
wiper interval.
■Raindrop sensor
●The raindrop sensor judges the
amount of raindrops. An optical sensor is adopted. It may not operate properly when sunlight
from the rising or setting of the sun intermittently strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are present on the wind-
shield.
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO mode
while the engine switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-sor is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -15°C
(5°F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate
the wipers in any mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
