AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM SYSTEM TEST MODE PROCEDURE


  1. Tech Tips

    This mode is to check the automatic high beam system operation with the vehicle stationary, based on the high beam illumination request signal from the forward recognition camera. Check that none of the conditions below are met before proceeding with the following procedure.


    • The system is in the start-up process, immediately after the ignition switch is turned to ON. (Standby mode is not determined.)

    • The camera is temporarily unavailable due to high temperature, etc. (The forward recognition camera cannot detect properly.)

    • The forward recognition camera is malfunctioning.

    • The camera cannot monitor the light level properly due to camera axis misalignment.
