To Operate the System
The HBC operates to switch the
headlights automatically between high
and low beams after the ignition is
switched ON and the headlight switch
is in the AUTO and low beam position.
The HBC determines that it is dark
based on the brightness of the
surrounding area. At the same time,
the HBC indicator light (green) in the
instrument cluster illuminates.
NOTE
Operation of the HBC function can be
disabled.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
