Your vehicle
If you do not want the system to be activated at any time when the headlight
switch is in AUTO, consult a dealer or disable the system.
n Turning the System On or Off
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 comes on.
The system is canceled temporarily
when you drive continuously at a
speed below 15 mph (24 km/h), the
vehicle speed drops below 6 mph
(10 km/h), the windshield wipers
run at high speed for more than a
few seconds, or you enter a well lit
location.
The high beams come back on once the condition that caused them to turn
off no longer exists.
Disabling the system: Pull the light switch lever toward you and hold it for at
least 40 seconds. The auto high-beam indicator in the meter will blink twice.
Re-enabling the system: Pull the light switch lever toward you and hold it
for at least 30 seconds. The auto high-beam indicator in the meter will blink
once.
If needed, you can temporarily turn the system off manually. Turn on the high
beams by pushing the lever forward until you hear a click or flash the high
beams once by pulling the lever toward you. To turn the system back on, pull
and hold the lever toward you for a few seconds.

If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient for driving, change the
headlight beams manually.
If the Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot Operate: Camera Temperature
Too High message appears:
• Use the climate control system to cool down the interior and, if
necessary, also use defroster mode with the air flow directed toward the
camera.
• Start driving the vehicle to lower the windshield temperature, which
cools down the area around the camera.
If the Auto High-Beam Cannot Operate: Clean Windshield message
appears:
• Park your vehicle in a safe place and clean the windshield. If the
message does not disappear after you have cleaned the windshield and
driven for a while, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
For the auto high-beam 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 the 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 repairing of the area near the
camera is required, consult a dealer.
