When Driving

NOTE
The timing in which the system switches the headlights changes under the following
conditions. If the system does not switch the headlights appropriately, manually switch
between high and low beams according to the visibility as well as road and traf¿ c
conditions.
 
When there are sources of light in the area such as street lamps, illuminated
signboards, and traf¿ c signals.
 
When there are reÀ ective objects in the surrounding area such as reÀ ective plates and
signs.
 
When visibility is reduced under rain, snow and foggy conditions.
 
When driving on roads with sharp turn or hilly terrain.
 
When the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles in front of you or in the opposite lane are
dim or not illuminated.
 
When there is suf¿ cient darkness such as at dawn or dusk.
 
When the luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger
seats are occupied.
 
When visibility is reduced due to a vehicle in front of you spraying water from its tyres
onto your windscreen.
To Operate the System
The High Beam Control System (HBC)
operates to switch the headlights
automatically between high and low
beams after the ignition is switched ON
and the headlight switch is in the AUTO
and high beam position.
The High Beam Control System (HBC)
determines that it is dark based on the
brightness of the surrounding area. At the
same time, the High Beam Control System
(HBC) indicator light (green) in the
instrument cluster illuminates.
NOTE
 
When the vehicle speed is about
30 km/h (19 mph) or more, the
headlights automatically switch
to high beams when there are no
vehicles ahead or approaching in the
opposite direction.

When the vehicle speed is less
than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the
High Beam Control System (HBC)
switches the headlights to low
beams.
 
The low beams may not switch to
high beams when cornering.
 
Operation of the High Beam Control
System (HBC) function can be
disabled. Refer to Personalisation
Features on page 9-13 .
