Q
High beam automatic turning on or off
conditions
O
When all of the following conditions are
met, the high beam will be automatically
turned on (after approximately 1 second):
• Vehicle speed is above approximately
30 - 40 km/h (19 - 25 mph)
*
.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no vehicles ahead with head-
lights or tail lights turned on.
• There are few streetlights on the road
ahead.
O
If any of the following conditions are met,
the high beam will be automatically
turned off:
• Vehicle speed drops below approxi-
mately 25 - 30 km/h (16 - 19 mph)
*
.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights or tail
lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road
ahead.
*
: The vehicle speed at which the high
beams are automatically turned on/off
may vary depending on the country for
which the vehicle is approved.
Q
Front camera detection information
O
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 divid-
ers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear from the
faraway lane on wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no lights
O
The high beam may be turned off if a
vehicle ahead that is using fog lights with-
out using the headlights is detected.
O
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.
O
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 a vehicle ahead only has opera-
tional lights on one side
• When a 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
O
The high beam may be turned on or off
when the driver does not expect it.
O
Bicycles or similar objects may not be
detected.
O
In the situations shown below, the system
may not be able to accurately detect sur-
rounding brightness levels. This may
cause the low beams to remain on or the
high beams to cause problems for pedes-
trians, vehicles ahead or other parties. In
these cases, manually switch between the
high and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sand-
storms etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist,
ice, dirt etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The front camera is deformed or dirty.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal
to those of headlights, tail lights or fog
lights.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights or tail
lights that are either switched off, dirty,
changing color, or have improperly

mittently changing brightness and dark-
ness.
• When frequently and repeatedly driving
ascending/descending roads, or roads
with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces
(such as stone-paved roads, gravel tracks
etc.).
• When frequently and repeatedly taking
curves or driving on a winding road.
• There is a highly reflective object ahead
of the vehicle, such as a sign or a mirror.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or
dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or titling, due to a flat
tire, a trailer being towed etc.
• The driver believes that the high beam
may be causing problems or distress to
other drivers or pedestrians nearby.
• The vehicle is used in a territory in which
vehicles travel on the opposite side of the
road of the country for which the vehicle
is approved, for example using a vehicle
designed for right-hand traffic in a left-
hand traffic territory, or vice versa.

strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are
present on the windshield.
O
If the wiper is turned to AUTO position
while the engine switch is in ON, the wip-

mode is activated.
O
If the temperature of the raindrop sensor
is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -30°C (-
22°F) or lower, automatic operation may
not occur. In this case, operate the wipers
in any mode other than AUTO.

Q
Caution regarding the use of wind-
shield wipers in AUTO mode
The windshield wipers may operate
unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or
the windshield is subject to vibration in
AUTO mode. Take care that your fin-
gers or anything else do not become
caught in the windshield wipers.
Q
Caution regarding the use of washer
fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer
fluid until the windshield becomes warm.
The fluid may freeze on the windshield
and cause low visibility. This may lead to
an accident, resulting in death or serious
injury.

Q
When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while
refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so
may result in death or serious injury.
O
After exiting the vehicle and before
opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge
any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before refu-
eling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors
to ignite while refueling.
O
Always hold the grips on the fuel tank
cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard
when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard
before fully removing the cap. In hot
weather, pressurized fuel may spray
out the filler neck and cause injury.
O
Do not allow anyone that has not dis-
charged static electricity from their
body to come close to an open fuel
