*: If equipped
1 Press the Automatic High Beam
switch.
2 Push the lever away from you
with the headlight switch in the
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 40 km/h (25 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 30 km/h (19 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.
■Camera sensor detection informa-
tion
●The high beams may not be automati-
cally turned off in the following situa- tions:
• When a vehicle suddenly appears
from around a curve
Automatic High Beam*
The Automatic High Beam
uses a camera sensor 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.
WA R N I N G
■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.
■To prevent incorrect operation of the Automatic High Beam system
Do not overload the vehicle.

High Beam

2004-3. Operating the lights and wipers
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by
another vehicle • 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 sit uations 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 camera sensor is deformed
or dirty
• When the temperature of the camera sensor 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

lights, etc., and automatically
controls the headlight light dis-
tribution as necessary.

vehicles ahead is partially not
illuminated while all other areas
continue to be illuminated with
the high beams.
The shaded high beams help optimize
forward visibility while reducing the daz-
zling effect on the drivers of vehicles
ahead.
 Adjusts the distance that the low
beams are projected according
to the distance to a preceding
vehicle.
1 Press the Adaptive High-beam
System switch.
2 Push the lever away from you
with the headlight switch in the
or position.
The AHS indicator will come on when
the system is operating.
■Operating conditions of the Adap- tive High-beam System
●When all of the following conditions are met, the high beams will be turned
on automatically and the system will
operate: • The vehicle speed is approximately 60
km/h (38 mph) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
●When all of the following conditions
are met, the shaded high beams will turn on and the distance that the low
beams are projected will be adjusted
automatically, depending on the loca- tion of vehicles ahead:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 60
km/h (38 mph) or more. • The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are vehicles ahead with head-
lights or tail lights turned on.
●If any of the following conditions are
met, the high beams or shaded high beams will be changed to the low
beams automatically:
• The vehicle speed is below approxi- mately 60 km/h (38 mph).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not
dark.
• There are many vehicles ahead. • Vehicles ahead are moving quickly
and the high beams may blind the
drivers of the other vehicles.

• When vehicles ahead suddenly appear from a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by
another vehicle • When vehicles ahead are hidden from
sight due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees • When vehicles ahead appear from the
faraway lane on wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no lights
●The high beams may be changed to
the shaded high beams 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 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 factors may affect the
amount of time taken to turn the high
beam on or off, or the speed by which the areas not illuminated change:
• The brightness of 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
●The light distribution control of the
headlights may change unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar objects may not be detected.
●In the following sit uations 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-
