not designed for use at night.
■Headlight control sensor 
The sensor may not function properly if  
an object is placed on the sensor, or  anything that blocks the sensor is affixed to the windshield. 
Doing so interferes with the sensor  detecting the level of ambient light and may cause the automatic headlight sys- 
tem to malfunction.

: The headlights and front fog  
lights turn off automatically if the  
engine switch is turned to ACC or

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

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers 
• 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 the windshield is obscured by  
fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc. 
• When the windshield is cracked or  damaged• When the front camera is deformed or  
dirty • When the temperature of the front camera 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
