High Beam Assist
High Beam Assist will automatically adjust the headlamp range (switches between high beam and low beam) according to the brightness of other vehicles and road conditions.
Detecting sensor
[1] : Front view camera
The front view camera is used as a detecting sensor to detect ambient light and brightness while driving. Refer to the picture above for the detailed location of the detecting sensor.
For more details on the precautions of the front view camera, refer to “Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)” section in chapter 5.
High Beam Assist setting

High Beam Assist operation
Display and control
• After selecting ‘High Beam Assist’ in the Settings menu, High Beam Assist will operate by following the procedure below.
- Place the headlamp switch in the AUTO position and push the headlamp lever towards the instrument cluster. The High Beam Assist indicator light will illuminate on the cluster and High Beam Assist will be enabled.
- When High Beam Assist is enabled, high beam will turn on when vehicle speed is above 40 km/h (25 mph). When vehicle speed is below 25 km/h (15 mph), high beam will not turn on.
- The High Beam indicator light will illuminate on the cluster when high beam is on.
• When High Beam Assist is operating, if the headlamp lever or switch is used, High Beam Assist operates as follow:
- If the headlamp lever is pulled towards you when the high beam is off, the high beam will turn on without High Beam Assist canceled. When you let go of the headlamp lever, the lever will move to the middle and the high beam will turn off.
- If the headlamp lever is pulled towards you when the high beam is on by High Beam Assist, low beam will be on and the system will turn off.
- If the headlamp switch is placed from AUTO to another position (headlamp/position/off), High Beam Assist will turn off and the corresponding lamp will turn on.
• When High Beam Assist is operating, high beam switches to low beam if any of the following conditions occur:
- When the headlamp of an oncoming vehicle is detected.
- When the tail lamp of a vehicle in front is detected.
- When the headlamp or tail lamp of a motorcycle or a bicycle is detected.
- When the surrounding ambient light is bright enough that high beams are not required.
- When streetlights or other lights are detected.
