! Tips for the high beam assist
system
. The high beam assist function recog-
nizes the conditions surrounding the ve-
hicle based on the brightness of illumina-
tion ahead of your vehicle, etc. Therefore,
the headlight mode may switch in some
situations that do not match to the drivers
sense.
. A bicycle or cargo cycle may not be
detected.
. Under t he foll owing situa tions, the
brightness of ambient illumination may
not be detected correctly and the high
beam assist function may not work prop-
erly. As a result, the glare of the high beam
may disturb the oncoming veh icle or
vehicle ahead. Also, the low beam mode
may continue although there are no
oncoming vehicles and vehicles ahead.
In the such cases, change the headlight
mode manually.
