Operating instructions
AHB (Automatic High
Beam)*
The Automatic High Beam
uses an in-vehicle front
camera to assess the bright-
ness of streetlights, the
lights of vehicles ahead etc.,
and automatically turns the
high beam on or off as nec-
essary.
WARNING
■Limitations of the Automatic
High Beam
Do not overly rely on the Auto-
matic High Beam. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe your
surroundings and turning the high
beams on or off manually if nec-
essary.
■To prevent inc orrect opera-
tion of the Automatic High
Beam system
Do not overload the vehicle.

■High beam automatic turning
on or off conditions
●When all of the following condi-
tions are fulfille d, the high beam
will be automatica lly turned on
(after approximately 1 second):
• Vehicle speed is above approxi- mately 21 mph (34 km/h) 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 fulfilled, the h igh beam will be
automatically turned off:
• Vehicle speed drops below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is
not dark.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
■Front camera detection infor-
mation
●The high beam may not be auto-
matically turned off in the following
situations:
• When oncoming vehicles sud- denly 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 a wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no
lights
●The high beam ma y be turned off
if a vehicle ahead that is using fog
lights without using the headlights
is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic
signals, and illuminated billboards
or signs may cause the high beam
to switch to the low beams, or the
low beams to remain on.
●The following fact ors may affect
the amount of time taken to turn
the high beam on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lig hts of vehicles
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, condition of the road
surface etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of luggage
●The high beam ma y be turned on
or off when the driver does not
expect it.
●Bicycles or similar objects may not
be detected.
●In the situations shown below, the
system may not be able to accu-
rately detect surrounding bright-
ness levels. This may cause the
low beams to remain on or the
high beams to cause problems for
pedestrians, vehicles ahead or
other parties. In these cases,
manually switch between the high
and low beams.
• In bad weather (r ain, snow, fog,
2164-3. Operating the lights and wipers

• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• The windshield is cracked or dam- aged
• The front camera is deformed or
dirty
• When the temperature of the front camera is extremely high
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of h eadlights, 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 thr ough 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
• There is a highly reflective object
ahead of the vehicle, such as a
sign or mirror
• The back of a vehicle ahead is highly reflective, such as a con-
tainer on a truck
• The vehicle’s headlights are dam- aged or dirty, or are not aimed
properly
• The vehicle is listing or titling due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed,
etc.
• The high beam and low beam are repeatedly being switched
between in an abnormal manner
• The driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems
or distress to other drivers or
pedestrians nearby
