PRECAUTION FOR AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM SYSTEM (w/ Automatic High Beam System)

1. General Description

   The automatic high beam system is a system that helps ensure visibility by automatically turning the high beam headlights on and off. Additionally, due to control limitations of the automatic high beam system, it may be necessary to manually turn the high beam headlights on and off. For safety reasons, make sure to turn the high beam headlights on and off manually according to the driving conditions.

2. Conditions Unsuitable for Using Automatic High Beam System

   Under the following conditions, the automatic high beam system might not detect other vehicles or lights correctly, or the high beam headlights might cause glare or flash pedestrians or the occupants of other vehicles. Manual operation should be considered.

   Factor	Condition
   Weather/Climate	When driving in bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.).
   Front windshield	When the windshield glass is not clear (ice, snow or frost on the glass). When the windshield glass is dirty (sand, mud, water stains or bugs on the glass). When the windshield glass is cracked. When the windshield glass is fogged-up. When the windshield glass has a film attached. When an object on the instrument panel reflects off of the windshield glass. When any other abnormal conditions exist with the windshield glass.
   Forward recognition camera	When the forward recognition camera is deformed. When the forward recognition camera is dirty. When any other abnormal conditions exist with the forward recognition camera.
