Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH)
The system switches the headlights to the high beams after the ignition is switched
ON and the headlight switch is in the position. The ALH indicator light
(green) in the instrument cluster turns on simultaneously.
To Operate the System
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the ALH may not operate normally. Manually
switch between the high and low beams according to the visibility, and the road
and traffic conditions.
• When there are other sources of light in the area such as street lamps,
illuminated signboards, and traffic signals.
• When there are reflective objects in the surrounding area such as reflective
plates and signs.
• When visibility is reduced under rain, snow and foggy conditions.
• When driving on roads with sharp curves or undulations.
CAUTION
• Do not modify the suspensions or headlight units, or remove the camera.
Otherwise, the ALH may not operate normally.
• Do not rely excessively on the ALH and drive the vehicle while paying
sufficient attention to safety. Switch the headlights between the high beams
and low beams manually if necessary.
• When the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles ahead or in the opposite lane are
dim or not illuminated.
• When there is insufficient darkness such as at dawn or dusk.
• When the luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear
passenger seats are occupied.
• When visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead spraying water from its
tyres onto your windscreen.
