Auto High-Beam System
Automatically changes the low beam headlights to high beam headlights when
necessary.
How It Works
When you are driving at night above 35 mph (56 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.
15-degrees
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
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 is cancels temporarily if you continuously
drive below 25 mph (40 km/h) for an extended
period of time, the vehicle speed falls below 15 mph
(24 km/h), the windshield wipers run at high speed
for more than a few seconds, or you enter a well lit
location.
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: When the vehicle is on and parked, 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 once by moving the lever towards you. Flash the high beams
again to resume auto high beam operation.
• Engage high beams by moving the lever forward until you hear a click. Return the
lever 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 the area near the camera requires repair,
consult a dealer.
If the Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot
Operate: Clean Front Windshield message
appears, park your vehicle in a safe place. Wipe
away debris blocking the windshield, then start
driving again. If the message remains on even after
driving for a while with the clean windshield, have
your vehicle checked by a dealer.
