AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK

1. 

   *a	Automatic High Beam Indicator Light

   Check the operation of the automatic high beam indicator light.

   
   

   1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

   2. Turn the light control switch to the Auto or head position.

   3. Turn the headlight dimmer switch to the high position.

   4. Turn the combination switch assembly (automatic high beam main switch) on.

      Tech Tips

      If the combination switch assembly (automatic high beam main switch) is turned on when the light control switch is not in the AUTO or head position, or the dimmer switch is not in the high position, "To Activate Auto High Beam, Switch Headlights to High Beam" will be displayed on the multi-information display.

   5. Check that the automatic high beam indicator light turns on.

      Note

      When the forward recognition camera cannot correctly detect objects due to inclement weather such as thick fog or other visual obstructions, the automatic high beam indicator may not turn on and consequently the automatic high beam system may not operate.

2. Check the operation of the automatic high beam function.

   
   

   1. At night, when driving the vehicle with the automatic high beam system in standby mode, check that the high beams automatically turn on after a short delay when all of the following conditions are met:

      
      

      • Vehicle speed is more than approximately 40 km/h (25 mph). (for Europe)

      • Vehicle speed is more than approximately 30 km/h (19 mph). (except Europe)

      • The area in front of the vehicle is dark.

      • There are no oncoming vehicles with headlights on.

      • There are no preceding vehicles with taillights on.

      • There are few streetlights along the street ahead.

   2. At night, when driving the vehicle with the high beams turned on by the automatic high beam system, check that the automatic high beam system turns off the high beams and returns to standby mode when any of the following conditions are met:

      
      

      • Vehicle speed is less than approximately 30 km/h (19 mph). (for Europe)

      • Vehicle speed is less than approximately 25 km/h (16 mph). (except Europe)

      • The level of ambient light is higher than a specified threshold.

      • There are oncoming vehicles with headlights on.

      • There are preceding vehicles with taillights on.

      • Light from streetlights ahead is higher than a specified threshold.
