High beam assist
The high beam assist system will operate
when the vehicle is driven at speeds of
approximately 19 MPH (30 km/h) and
above. If an oncoming vehicle or leading
vehicle appears in front of your vehicle
when the headlight high beam is on, the
headlight will be switched to the low
beam automatically.
Precautions on high beam assist:
WARNING
. The high beam assist system is a
convenience but it is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving operation.
The driver should remain alert at
all times, ensure safe driving
practices and switch the high
beams and low beam manually
when necessary.

not switch automatically under
the following conditions. Switch
the high beam and low beam
