*
The Adaptive High-beam System
uses a front camera located behind
the upper portion of the windshield
to assess the brightness of the lights
of vehicles ahead, streetlights, etc.,
and automatically controls the
headlight light distribution as nec-
essary.
WARNING
Q
Limitations of the Adaptive High-
beam System
Do not overly rely on the Adaptive High-
beam System. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings and
turning the high beams on or off manu-
ally if necessary.

Q
Operating conditions of the Adaptive
High-beam System
O
When all of the following conditions are
met, the high beams will be turned on
automatically and the system will oper-
ate:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 60
km/h (38 mph) or more.
*
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
*
: When the vehicle speed is approximately
60 km/h (38 mph) or more, the area in
the direction that the vehicle is turning
will be illuminated more brightly than
other areas while driving on a curve.
O
When all of the following conditions are
met, the shaded high beams will turn on
and the distance that the low beams are
projected will be adjusted automatically,
depending on the location of vehicles
ahead:
• The vehicle speed is approximately 60
km/h (38 mph) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are vehicles ahead with headlights
or tail lights turned on.
O
If any of the following conditions are met,
the high beams or shaded high beams will
be changed to the low beams automati-
cally:
• The vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 60 km/h (38 mph).

Q
Front camera detection information
O
The high beams may not be automatically
changed to the shaded high beams in the
following situations:
• When vehicles ahead 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 beams may be changed to the
shaded high beams if a vehicle ahead that
is using fog lights without its headlights
turned on is detected.
O
House lights, street lights, traffic signals,
and illuminated billboards or signs and
other reflective objects may cause the
high beams to change to the shaded high
beams, cause the high beams not to
change to the shaded high beams, or
change the area that is not illuminated.
O
The following factors may affect the
amount of time taken to turn the high
beam on or off, or the speed by which the
areas not illuminated change:
• 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 light distribution control of the head-
lights may change unexpectedly.
O
Bicycles or similar objects may not be
detected.
O
In the following situations the system may
not be able to correctly detect the sur-
rounding brightness level. This may cause
the low beams to remain on or the high
beams to flash or dazzle pedestrians or
vehicles ahead. In such a case, it is neces-
sary to manually switch between the high
and low beams.
• When driving in inclement weather
(heavy rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.)
• When the windshield is obscured by fog,
mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• When the windshield is cracked or dam-
aged
• When the front camera is deformed or
dirty
• When the temperature of the front cam-
era is extremely high
• When the surrounding brightness level is
equal to that of headlights, tail lights or
fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of vehicles
ahead are turned off, dirty, changing
color, or not aimed properly
• When the vehicle is hit by water, snow,
dust, etc. from a preceding vehicle
• When driving through an area of inter-
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
roads, etc.)
• When frequently and repeatedly taking
curves or driving on a winding road
• When there is a highly reflective object
ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or
mirror
• When the back of a preceding vehicle is
highly reflective, such as a container on a
truck
• When the vehicle’s headlights are dam-
aged or dirty, or are not aimed properly
• When the vehicle is listing or tilting due to
a flat tire, a trailer being towed, etc.
• When the headlights are changed
between the high beams and low beams
repeatedly in an abnormal manner
• When the driver believes that the high
beams may be flashing or dazzling
pedestrians or other drivers
• When the vehicle is used in an area in
which vehicles travel on the opposite side
of the road of the country for which the

When the windshield wipers are not
being used, they retract to below the
hood. To enable the windshield wipers
to be lifted when parking in cold condi-
tions or when replacing a windshield
wiper insert, change the rest position of
the windshield wipers to the service
position using the wiper lever.
Q

from the windshield.
WARNING
Q
Caution regarding the use of wind-
shield wipers in AUTO mode (vehi-
cles with rain-sensing windshield
wipers)
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, etc. 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.
NOTICE
Q
When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually as
the washer fluid pump may overheat.
