VEHICLE CONTROLS
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you, the headlights stay in low beams. If the
system does not detect any vehicles ahead of you, the headlights change to
high beams.
Certain conditions, such as weather and brightness of other vehicles' lights,
can affect system operation.
Turning the System On or Off
n
Make sure the headlight lever is in the low beam position with the switch
rotated to the AUTO position.
The auto high beam system indicator
comes on.
To disable the system: Pull and hold the
headlight lever toward you for about 40
seconds, until the indicator flashes
twice.
To enable the system: Pull and hold the
headlight lever toward you for about 30
seconds, until the indicator flashes
once.
To temporarily cancel operation, do either of the following:
• Flash the high beams by moving the lever toward you. Flash the high
beams again to resume auto high beam operation.
• Engage high beams by moving the lever into the high beam position.
Return the lever to the low beam position to resume auto high beam
operation.
If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient for driving, change the
beams manually.
For the system 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 windshield cleanser to the camera
lens.
• Do not attach an object, sticker or film in the area around the camera.
• Do not touch the camera lens.
If the camera receives a strong impact or requires repair, consult a dealer.
If you see the message "Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot Operate: Clean
Front Windshield," park your vehicle in a safe place. Wipe away debris
blocking the windshield, then start driving again. If the message remains
40 |
even after driving for a while with the clean windshield, have your vehicle
checked by a dealer.
If you see a message that the camera is too hot, use the climate control
system to cool the interior. Defroster mode will direct airflow toward the
camera.
Wiper Operation
The windshield wipers and washers can be used when the vehicle is on.
Front Wipers
n
Move the wiper lever up or down to the
desired position.
Headlight Integration with Wipers
n
When the headlights are in the AUTO position, they automatically turn on
when the front wipers operate several times within a certain interval. The
headlights turn off shortly after the wipers are turned off or if there is
enough ambient light.
