■Camera sensor detection information
●The high beam may not be automatically turned off in the following situations:
When oncoming vehicles suddenly appear from a curve
When the vehicle is cut in front of by another vehicle
When vehicles ahead are hidden from sight due to repeated curves, road dividers or
roadside trees
When vehicles ahead appear from the faraway lane on wide road
When vehicles ahead have no lights
●The high beam may be turned off if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights without using
the headlights is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs may cause
the high beam to switch to the low beams, or the low beams to remain on.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn the high beam on or
off:
The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead
The movement and direction of vehicles ahead
When vehicle ahead only has operational lights on one side
When vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
The condition of the road (gradient, curve, condition of the road surface etc.)
The number of passengers and amount of luggage
●The high beam may be turned on or off when the driver does not expect it.
●Bicycles or similar objects may not be detected.
●In the situations shown below, the system may not be able to accurately detect sur-

beams to cause problems for pedestrianhicles, vse ahead or other parties. In these
cases, manually switch between the high and low beams.
