sensor is affixed to the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor 
detecting the level of ambient light 
and may cause the automatic head-
light system to malfunction.
■Automatic light off system
●When the headlights are on: The 
headlights and tail  lights turn off 
30 seconds after the driver’s door 
is opened and closed if the engine 
switch is turned  to ACC or OFF. 
(The lights turn off immediately if 
 on the key is pressed after all 
the doors are closed.)
●When only the tail lights are on: 
The tail lights tu rn off automati-
cally if the engine  switch is turned 
to ACC or OFF and the driver’s 
door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the 
engine switch to ON, or turn the light 
switch off once and then back to 
 or  .
■Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the engine 
switch is turned to OFF or ACC and 
the driver’s door is opened while the 
lights are turned on.
■Automatic headlight leveling 
system (if equipped)
The level of the headlights is auto-
matically adjusted  according to the 
number of passengers and the load-
ing condition of the vehicle to 
ensure that the headlights do not 
interfere with other road users.
■Windshield wiper linked head-
light illumination
When driving during daytime with 
the headlight switch turned to  , if 
the windshield wipers are used, the 
headlights will turn on automatically 
after several seconds to help 
enhance the visibility of your vehi-
cle.
■Battery-saving function
In order to prevent the battery of the  vehicle from discharging, if the 
headlights and/or tail lights are on 
when the engine switch is turned off 
the battery saving function will oper-
ate and automatically turn off all the 
lights after approximately 20 min-
utes. When the engine switch is 
turned to ON, the
 battery-saving 
function will be disabled.
When any of the following are per-
formed, the battery-saving function 
is canceled once and then reacti-
vated. All the lights  will turn off auto-
matically 20 minutes after the 
Battery- saving function has been 
reactivated:
●When the headlight switch is oper-
ated
●When a door is opened or closed
■Customization
Some functions can be customized.

2Turn the headlight switch to 
the   or   position.
When the headlight switch lever is 
in the low beam position, the AHB 
system will be enabled and the 
AHB indicator will illuminate.
■Automatic operating condi-
tions of the high beams
●When all of the following condi-
tions are met, the high beams will 
illuminate automatically:
• The vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 21 mph (34 km/h) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is  dark.
• There are no vehicles ahead with  lights on.
• There are few streetlights or other 
lights on the road ahead.
●If any of the following conditions 
are met, the headlights will 
change to the low beams:
• Vehicle speed drops below 
approximately 17  mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is  not dark.
• There is a vehi cle ahead with 
lights on.
• 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 low beams:
• When a vehicle cuts in front of  your vehicle
• When another vehicle crosses in  front of the vehicle • When vehicles ahead are repeat-
edly 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 own head-
lights
• Situations in which the sensors 
may not operate properly:  P. 1 6 5
●The headlights may change to the 
low beams if a vehicle ahead that 
is using fog lights without its head-
lights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic 
signals, and illuminated billboards 
or signs may cause the high 
beams to change to the low 
beams, or the low beams to 
remain on.
●The following may change the tim-
ing at which the headlights 
change to the low beams:
• The brightness o f lights of vehi-
cles ahead
• The movement and direction of  vehicles ahead
• The distance between the vehicle  and a vehicle ahead
• When a vehicle  ahead only has 
lights illuminate d 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 headlights may change 
between the high beams and low 
beams unexpectedly.
●Bicycles and other small vehicles 
may not be detected.
●In the following situations, the sys-
tem may not be able to correctly 
detect the brightness of the sur-

roundings. This may cause the 
low beams to remain on or the 
high beams to flash or dazzle 
pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In 
such a case, it is necessary to 
manually change between the 
high beams and low beams.
• When there are lights similar to  headlights or tail li ghts in the sur-
rounding area
• When headlights or tail lights of  vehicles ahead are turned off, 
dirty, changing color, or not aimed 
properly
• When the headlights are repeat-
edly changing between the high 
beams and low beams.
• When use of the high beams is 
inappropriate or when the high 
beams may be flashing or daz-
zling pedestrians  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 wh ich the vehicle 
was designed, for  example using 
a vehicle designed for right-hand 
traffic in a left-hand traffic area, or 
vice versa

the system:  P. 1 6 1
• Situations in which the sensors  may not operate properly:  P. 1 6 5
■Temporarily reducing front 
camera sensitivity (for the 
U.S.A.)
The sensitivity o f the front camera 
can be temporarily reduced.
1 Turn the engine  switch off with 
the following conditions met.
• The headlight switch is in the   
or   position.
• The headlight switch lever is in the  low beam position.
• The automatic High Beam switch  is on.
2 Press the engine switch to ON.
3 Within 60 seconds after perform-
ing step 2, push the headlight 
switch lever to the high beam 
position then pull it to the original  position quickly 10 times, then 
leave the lever in its original posi-
tion.
■Changing to the high 
beams
Push the lever forward.
The Automatic High Beam indicator 
will turn off and the  high beam indi-
cator will turn on.
Pull the lever to its original position 
to enable the Automatic High Beam 
system again.
■Changing to the low beams

Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may lead to 
a radar sensor not operating prop-
erly, possibly leading to an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious 
injury.
●Keep the radar sensors and

times.
Clean the front of a radar sensor 
or the front or back of a radar sen-
sor cover if it is dirty or covered 
with water drople ts, snow, etc.
When cleaning the radar sensor 
and radar sensor cover, use a soft

PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system 
uses sensors to detect 
objects ( P.167) in the path 
of the vehicle. When the 
system determines that the 
possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a detectable 
object is high, a warning 
operates to urge the driver 
to take evasive action and 
the potential brake pressure 
is increased to help the 
driver avoid the collision. If 
the system determines that 
the possibility of a collision 
is extremely high, the 
brakes are automatically 
applied to help avoid the 
collision or help reduce the 
impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system 
can be disabled/enabled 
and the warning timing can 
be changed. ( P.176)
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the 
responsibility of the driver. Pay 
careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to 
ensure safe driving.
Never use the pre-collision sys-
tem in place of  normal braking 
operations. This system cannot 
help avoid or reduce the impact 
of a collision in every situation. 
Over-reliance on this system to 
drive the vehicle safely may 
lead to an accident resulting in 
death or serious injury.
●Although the pre-collision sys-
tem is designed to help avoid or 
help reduce the impact of a col-
lision, its effectiveness may 
change according to various 
conditions. Therefore, it may not 
always be able to achieve the 
same level of performance.
Read the followin g items care-
fully. Do not overl y rely on this 
system and always drive care-
fully.
