High Beam Assist*
The high beam assist uses
the stereo camera located
behind the upper portion of
the windshield to assess the
brightness of the lights of
vehicles ahead, street-
lights, etc., and automati-
cally turns the high beams
on or off as necessary.
WARNING

detected due to repeated curves,
road dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear in a
faraway 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, street lights, traffic
signals, and illumi nated 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 ta il lights of vehi-
cles ahead
• The movement and direction of
vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has operational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradi-
ent, curve, condi tion of the road
surface, etc.)
• The number of passengers and
amount of luggage in the vehicle
• When there is a lag in response due to the limitat ions of the detec-
tion range of the stereo camera
●The high beams may turn on or off
unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar vehicles may
not be detected.
●In the following situations the sys-
tem may not be abl e to correctly
detect the surrounding brightness
level. This may cause the low
beams to remain on or the high
beams to flash or dazzle pedestri-
ans or vehicles ahead. In such a
case, it is necess ary to manually
switch between the high and low
beams.
• When driving in inclement weather (heavy rain, snow, fog, sand-
storms, etc.)
• When the windshi eld is obscured
by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• When the windshield is cracked or damaged
• When the stereo camera is deformed or dirty
• When the temperature of the ste-
reo 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 vehicles ahead are turned off,
dirty, changing 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
intermittently changing brightness
and darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly
driving ascending/descending
roads, or roads with rough, bumpy
or uneven surfaces (such as
stone-paved roads, gravel roads,
etc.)
• When frequently and repeatedly
taking curves or driving on a wind-
ing road
• When there is a h ighly 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 container 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.
• Immediately after the engine is
started
• 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 driv-

Driving
WARNING
●The windshield has become
fogged, scratched or smeared,
or snow, dirt, dust or frost has
adhered to it, or it is otherwise
affected. These will reduce the
stereo camera’s field of view.
Also, light is reflecting off the
dirt, etc.
●Water droplets from rain or the
window washer, or dirt has not
been fully wiped off the wind-
shield.
• It may not be po ssible to detect
the vehicle in front, making cor-
rect control impossible.
●The stereo camera’s field of
view is obstructed.
The stereo camera may have diffi-
culty detectin g the following
objects or conditions. Operate the
brake pedal and take other
actions as necessary.
●Vehicles at significantly different
speeds (vehicles driving slowly,
stopped or oncoming vehicles,
etc.)
●Vehicles cutting into your lane
●Motorcycles, bicycles, pedestri-
ans and animals, etc.
●Light is poor in the evening or
early morning.
●At night or in a tunnel without
the headlights on
●At night or in a tunnel when
there is a vehicle in front that
does not have its tail lights on
●Strong light is coming from the
front (sunlight or headlight high
beams, etc.).
●Vehicles in front that have a rear
aspect that is low, small or irreg-
ular (the system may recognize
another part of the vehicle and
will determine operation from
that)
• An empty truck or trailer that has no tailgate or longbed
• Vehicles that have cargo pro- truding from their back ends
• Non-standard shaped vehicles (vehicle transporters or vehi-
cles with a sideca r fitted, etc.)
• Vehicles that are low
●Objects that are located close to
the bumper of your vehicle
■Detection of the vehicle in
front by the EyeSight stereo
camera
*
●Under the following road condi-
tions or conditions of your vehi-
cle, detection of the vehicle in
front may not be possible. Vehi-
cles in neighboring traffic lanes
or roadside objects may also be
incorrectly detected. Under con-
ditions such as these, do not
use Adaptive Cruise Control. If
cruise control is currently in use,
operate the brake pedal and
take other actions as necessary.
