Instruments and controls/Illumination brightness control
Headlight beam leveler (if
equipped)
& Automatic headlight beam
leveler (models with LED
headlights)
The LED headlights generate more light
than conventional halogen headlights.
Therefore a driver of an oncoming vehicle
may experience too much glare when your
headlight beam height adjustment is high
due to the vehicle carrying heavy load.
The automatic headlight beam leveler
adjusts the headlight beam height auto-
matically and optimally according to the
load being carried by the vehicle.
