1How 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 detected a dense fog.
