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

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-

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:

AHB (Automatic High 
Beam)
The Automatic High Beam 
uses a front camera located 
on the upper portion of the 
windshield to detect the 
brightness of the lights of 
vehicles ahead, street-
lights, etc., and automati-
cally changes the head 
lights between the high 
beams and low beams.
WARNING
■For safe use
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.

operation of the Automatic 
High Beam System

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

other drivers or pedestrians 
nearby.
Pull the lever rearward and then 
return it to its original position.
The high beams will illuminate 
while the lever is pulled, however,
