Auto High-Beam System - Honda CR-V 2017 Owner's Manual

Auto High-Beam System

Uses the camera attached, monitors the space ahead of your vehicle, and
automatically changes the low beam headlights to high beam headlights when
necessary.
The system operates when:
■
The headlight switch is in AUTO.
■
The lever is in the low beam
position.
■
The system recognizes that you
are driving at night and the low
beam headlights come on.
■
The vehicle speed is above 25 mph
(40 km/h).
The system changes between high and low beam headlights when:
The camera is not detecting any lights coming from preceding or oncoming
vehicles: The headlights change to high beams.
The camera detects lights coming from a preceding or oncoming vehicle: The
headlights are returned to low beams.
The view angle or distance that the camera can detect lights ahead differs
depending on conditions, such as the brightness of the lights and the weather.

1Auto High-Beam System
The auto high-beam system determines when to
change the headlight beams by responding to the
brightness of the lights ahead of your vehicle. In the
following cases, the system may not respond to the
lights properly:
•
The brightness of the lights from the preceding or
oncoming vehicle is intense or poor.
•
Visibility is poor due to the weather (rain, snow,
fog, windshield frost, etc.).
•
Other light sources, such as streetlights and electric
billboards are illuminating the road ahead.
•
The brightness level of the road ahead constantly
changes.
•
The road is bumpy or with many curves.
•
A vehicle cuts in front of you, or a vehicle in front
of you is not in the preceding or oncoming
direction.
•
Your vehicle is tilted with a heavy load in the rear.
If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient
for driving, change the headlight beams manually.
If you do not want the system to be activated at any
time when the headlight switch is in AUTO, consult a
dealer.
