OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Under the situations other than described
above, the stereo camera cannot detect
the vehicle in front of you or light source,
and there is a case where the high beam
assist may not activate properly.
Refer to "Situations where the stereo cam-
era may not activate properly" in this sec-
tion for details.
Situations where you need to switch
high beam or low beam manually
• When switching between high beam
(main beam) and low beam occurs fre-
quently
• When there is a problem using the high
beam (main beam)
• When automatic high beam operation
seems to disturb other drivers or pedes-
trians
There is a case that high beam (main
beam) may be switched to low beam by
the fog lights of the vehicle in front of you.
Street lights, traffic signals, and illumina-
tion of billboards or signs may cause high
beam (main beam) to switch to low beam,
or low beam to remain on.
