Active high beams
The active high beam system uses a camera at
the upper edge of the windshield to detect the
headlights of oncoming vehicles or the taillights
of a vehicle directly ahead. When this happens,
the headlights will automatically switch from high
beams to low beams.
When the camera no longer detects an
approaching vehicle or one that is ahead, your
headlights will switch back to high beams.

ment panel saying that active high

switching between high and low beams
will have to be done manually. However, the light

windshield are no longer obscured, the messages
will disappear and the
symbol will illumi-
nate.
