Auto High-Beam System
Using a camera mounted to the inside of the windshield, this system detects
light sources ahead of the vehicle. Depending on the light source, the system
automatically switches the headlights to high beam for optimal visibility at night.
n How It Works
When the camera detects lights coming from a preceding or oncoming
vehicle, the headlights remain in low beam. When the camera detects no
lights coming from a preceding or oncoming vehicle, the headlights change
to high beam. 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.
System Operation Conditions
n
The system operates when:
• The headlight switch is in AUTO.
• The lever is in the low beam position.
• The low beams are on and the system recognizes that your are driving at
night.
• The vehicle speed is above 25 mph (40 km/h).
