*: If equipped
According to the vehicle speed,
the brightness and illuminated
area of the high beams are
adjusted.
 When driving around a curve, the
system uses the high beams to
brightly illuminate the direction of
travel of the vehicle.
 The high beams are illuminated
so that the area around a vehicle
ahead is shaded. (Shaded high
beam)
The shaded high beam helps ensure
forward visibility while reducing the daz-
zling effect on the drivers of vehicles
ahead.
Area illuminated by the high
beams
Area illuminated by the low
beams
 According to the distance to a
preceding vehicle, the illumi-
nated area of the low beams is
adjusted.
1 Press the Adaptive High-beam
System switch.
AHS (Adaptive High-
beam System)*
The Adaptive High-beam Sys-
tem uses a front camera
located on the upper portion of
the windshield to detect the
brightness of the lights of
vehicles ahead, streetlights,
etc., and automatically con-
trols the light distribution of
the headlights.
WARNING
■For safe use
Do not overly rely on the Adaptive High-beam System. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your
surroundings and turning the high beams on or off manually if neces-sary.

cally changes the head lights
between the high beams and
low beams.
