●When all of the following conditions
are met, the high beams will illuminate and the system will operate:• The vehicle speed is approximately 15
km/h (9 mph) or more.*
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.*: When driving around a curve at a
vehicle speed of approximately 30
km/h (19 mph) or more, the direction
of travel of the vehicle will be brightly
illuminated.
●When all of the following conditions are met, the headlights will change to the shaded high beams according to
the position of vehicles ahead: • The vehicle speed is approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark. • There is a vehicle ahead with lights on.
• There are few streetlights or other lights on the road ahead.
●If any of the following conditions are met, the system will change to the low beams:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 12 km/h (7.5 mph) or lower.• The area ahead of the vehicle is not
dark.
• There are many vehicles ahead. • There are many streetlights or other lights on the road ahead.
■Front camera detection
●In the following situations, the high beams may not be automatically
changed to the shaded high beams: • When a vehicle cuts in front of your vehicle
• When another vehicle crosses in front of the vehicle• When vehicles ahead are repeatedly
detected and then hidden due to repeated curves, road dividers or roadside trees
• When a vehicle ahead approaches from a far lane• When a vehicle ahead is far away
• When a vehicle ahead has no lights • When the lights of a vehicle ahead are dim
• When a vehicle ahead is reflecting strong light, such as the headlights of your vehicle
• Situations in which the sensors may not operate properly: P. 2 7 9
●The high beams may change to the shaded high beams if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights without its
headlights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic sig-
nals, and illuminated billboards or signs and other reflective objects may cause the high beams to change to
the shaded high beams, cause the high beams not to change to the shaded high beams, or change the
area that is not illuminated.
●The following may change the speed
at which the shaded areas change or the timing at which the headlights change to the low beams:
• The brightness of lights of vehicles ahead• The movement and direction of vehi-
cles ahead • The distance between the vehicle and a vehicle ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has lights illuminated on one side

etc.) • The number of passengers and amount of luggage
●The light distribution control of the headlights may not match the driver’s
expectations
●Bicycles and other small vehicles may
not be detected.
●In the following situations, the system
may not be able to correctly detect the brightness of the surroundings. 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 change between the high beams and low beams.• When there are lights similar to head-
lights or tail lights in the surrounding area• When headlights or tail lights of vehi-
cles ahead are turned off, dirty, chang- ing color, or not aimed properly• When the headlights are repeatedly
changing between the high beams and low beams.• When use of the high beams is inap-
propriate or when the high beams may be flashing or dazzling pedestri-ans or other drivers.
• When the vehicle is used in an area in which vehicles travel on the opposite side of the road of the country for
which the vehicle was designed, for example using a vehicle designed for right-hand traffic in a left-hand traffic
area, or vice versa • When it is necessary to disable the system: P. 2 7 5
