AHB (Automatic High
Beam)*
The Automatic High Beam
uses a front camera 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.
WARNING
■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.

■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 30
km/h (19 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 25 km/h (16 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.
■Front camera detection information
●The high beams may not be automati-cally turned off in the following situa-
tions: • When a vehicle suddenly appears from around a curve
• 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 situations 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 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
