When the power mode is in ON

If the smart entry remote is taken out of the
vehicle, and the driver’s door is closed, a
warning buzzer sounds from both inside and

Smart Entry Remote Reminder

When the smart entry remote is within the system’s
operational range, and the driver’s door is closed, the
warning function cancels.

If the smart entry remote is taken out of the vehicle
after the engine has been started, you can no longer
change the ENGINE START/STOP button mode or
restart the engine. Always make sure if the remote is
in your vehicle when you operate the ENGINE
START/STOP
button.

Removing the smart entry remote from the vehicle
through a window does not activate the warning
buzzer.

Do not put the smart entry remote on the dashboard
or in the glove box. It may cause the warning buzzer
to activate. Under some other conditions that can
prevent the vehicle from locating the remote, the
warning buzzer may also activate even if the remote
is within the system’s operational range.

Auto High-Beam

Auto High-Beam

*

The front sensor camera detects the light sources ahead of the vehicle such as the
lights of a preceding or oncoming vehicle, or street lights. When you are driving at
night, the system automatically switches the headlights between low beam and high
beam depending on the situation.

When all of the following conditions have been met, the auto high-beam indicator
comes on and the auto high-beam is activated.

• The power mode is in ON.
• The light switch is in AUTO.
• The lever is in the low beam position.
• The headlights have been automatically

activated.

• It is dark outside the vehicle.

If the auto high-beam indicator does not come on even when all the conditions have
been met, carry out the following procedure and the indicator will come on.
• Pull the lever toward you for flashing the high beams then release it while driving.

Auto High-Beam

*

The auto high-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.

If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient
for driving, change the headlight beams manually.

The range and the distance at which the camera can
recognize varies depending on conditions
surrounding your vehicle.

Regarding the handling of the camera mounted to
the inside of the windshield, refer to the following.

2 Front Sensor Camera P. 526

For the auto high-beam to work properly:

Do not place an object that reflects light on the
dashboard.

Keep the windshield around the camera clean.
When cleaning the windshield, be careful not to
apply the windshield 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.

If the camera receives a strong impact, or repairing of
the area near the camera is required, consult a dealer.

Automatic switching between high-beam and low-beam

When auto-high beam is active, the headlights switch between high beam and low
beam based on the following conditions.

Manual switching between high-beam and low-beam

If you want to manually switch the headlights between high beam and low beam,
follow either of the procedures below. Note that when you do this, the auto high-
beam indicator will turn off and the auto high-beam will be deactivated.

Using the lever:
Pull the lever toward you for flashing the high beams then release it within about
one second while driving.

How to Use the Auto High-Beam

In the following cases, the auto high-beam system
may not switch the headlights properly or the
switching timing may be changed. In case of the
automatic switching operation does not fit for your
driving habits, please switch the headlights manually.

The brightness of the lights from the preceding or
oncoming vehicle is intense or poor.

Visibility is poor due to the weather (rain, snow,
fog, windshield frost, etc.).

Surrounding light sources, such as street lights,
electric billboards and traffic lights are illuminating
the road ahead.

The brightness level of the road ahead constantly
changes.

The road is bumpy or has many curves.

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 toward 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:

Windshield wipers are operating at a high speed.

The camera has been detected a dense fog.

Switching to high beam:

All of the following conditions must
be met before the high beams turn
on.
• Your vehicle speed is 25 mph (40

km/h) or more.

• There are no preceding or

oncoming vehicle with headlights
or taillights turned on.

• There are few street lights on the

road ahead.

Switching to low beam:

One of the following conditions
must be met before the low beams
turn on.
• Your vehicle speed is 15 mph (24

km/h) or less.

• There is a preceding or oncoming

vehicle with headlights or
taillights turned on.

• There are many street lights on

the road ahead.

How to Use the Auto High-Beam

If the Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot
Operate: Camera Temperature Too High
message
appears:

Use the climate control system to cool down the
interior and, if necessary, also use defroster mode
with the airflow directed toward the camera.

Start driving the vehicle to lower the windshield
temperature, which cools down the area around
the camera.

If the Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot
Operate: Clean Front Windshield
message
appears:

Park your vehicle in a safe place, and clean the
windshield. If the message does not disappear after
you have cleaned the windshield and driven for a
while, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

Operating the wipers in this condition may damage
the wipers. Use the defroster to warm the

The pump may get damaged.

The wiper motor may stop motor operation
temporarily to prevent an overload. Wiper operation
will return to normal within a few minutes, once the
