Auto High-Beam System*

Automatically changes the low beam headlights to high beam headlights when
necessary.
How It Works
n
When you are driving at night above 25 mph (40 km/h) and the headlight lever is
in the low beam position with the switch rotated to AUTO, the system changes
between low and high beams depending on the surrounding conditions.
Your vehicle
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you, the headlights stay in low beams. If the system
does not detect any vehicles ahead of you, the headlights change to high beams.
Certain conditions, such as weather and brightness of other vehicles' lights, can
affect system operation.
Turning the System On or Off
n
Make sure the headlight lever is in the low beam
position with the switch rotated to the AUTO position.
The auto high-beam system indicator appears when
the system is on.
The system cancels temporarily when you drive
continuously at speeds below 15 mph (24 km/h),
the vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h), or the
windshield wipers run at high speed for more than a
few seconds.
To disable the system: When the vehicle is on and parked, pull the headlight lever
towards you and hold it for 40 seconds. The auto high-beam indicator blinks twice.
To re-enable the system: Pull the headlight lever towards you and hold it for 30
seconds. The auto high-beam indicator blinks once.
To temporarily cancel operation, do either of the following:
• Flash the high beams by moving the lever toward you. Flash the high beams again
to resume auto high beam operation.
• Engage high beams by moving the lever into the high beam position. Return the
stalk to the low beam position to resume auto high beam operation.

If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient for driving, change the beams
manually.
For the system to work properly:
• Do not place an object that reflects light on the dashboard.
• Keep the windshield around the camera clean. When cleaning the windshield, be
careful not to apply windshield cleanser to the camera lens.
• Do not attach an object, sticker or film in the area around the camera.
• Do not touch the camera lens.
If the camera receives a strong impact or requires repair, consult a dealer.
If you see the message " Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot Operate: Clean
Front Windshield," park your vehicle in a safe place. Wipe away debris blocking the
windshield, then start driving again. If the message remains even after driving for a
while with the clean windshield, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
If you see a message that the camera is too hot, use the climate control system to
cool the interior. Defroster mode will direct airflow toward the camera.
