• A vehicle suddenly appears in front of you, or a vehicle in front of you is not in the
preceding or oncoming direction.
• Your vehicle is tilted with a heavy load in the rear.
• A traffic sign, mirror, or other reflective object ahead is reflecting strong light towards the
vehicle.
• The oncoming vehicle frequently disappears under roadside trees or behind median
barriers.
• The preceding or oncoming vehicle is a motorcycle, bicycle, mobility scooter, or other small
vehicle.
The auto high-beam system keeps the headlight low beam when:
• Windscreen wipers are operating at a high speed.
• The camera has detected a dense fog.
Adaptive Driving Beam *
When driving at night, the front wide view camera
detects light sources such as street lights or the lights of
an oncoming or preceding vehicle. The system
automatically switches the headlights between low and
high beam depending on the situation.
In addition, the system automatically adjusts the light
distribution of the high beams in order to reduce glare
for preceding and oncoming vehicles.
The adaptive driving beam system does not always operate in every situation. This system is
just for assisting the driver. Always observe your surroundings and switch the headlights
between high beam and low beam manually if necessary.
The range and the distance at which the camera can recognise varies depending on
conditions surrounding your vehicle.
Regarding the handling of the camera mounted to the inside of the windscreen, refer to the
following.

• Do not place an object that reflects light on the dashboard.
• Keep the windscreen around the camera clean. When cleaning the windscreen, be careful
not to apply the windscreen cleanser to the camera lens.
• Do not attach an object, sticker or film to the area around the camera.
• Do not touch the camera lens.
