High Beam Support System*
1High Beam Support System*
Uses the camera attached, monitors the space ahead of your vehicle, and
automatically changes the low beam headlights to high beam headlights when
necessary.
The high beam support system determines when to
change the headlight beams by responding to the
brightness of the lights ahead of your vehicle. In the
following cases, the system may not respond to the
lights properly:
The system operates when:
■
■
The headlight switch is in AUTO.
The lever is in the low beam
position.
The system recognises that you are
driving at night and the low beam
headlights come on.

•
•
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, windscreen frost, etc.).
Other light sources, such as streetlights and electric
billboards are illuminating the road ahead.
The brightness level of the road ahead constantly
changes.
■
■
The vehicle speed is above 40 km/h
(25 mph).

•
The road is bumpy or with many curves.
A vehicle cuts in front of you, or a vehicle in front
of you is not in the preceding or oncoming
direction.
The system changes to high beam headlights when:
When the camera is not detecting any lights coming from preceding or oncoming
vehicles: The headlights change to high beams.
•
Your vehicle is tilted with a heavy load in the rear.
When the camera detects lights coming from a preceding or oncoming vehicle: The
headlights are returned to low beams.
If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient
for driving, change the headlight beams manually.
The camera monitors the range within the 30~38-degree view angle. The distance
that the camera can detect lights ahead differs depending on conditions, such as
the brightness of the lights and the weather.
If you do not want the system to be activated at any
time when the headlight switch is in AUTO, consult a
dealer.

Temporary cancellation
Models with Forward Collision Warning
The high beam support system operation is temporarily cancelled while:
• You are continuously driving at a speed below 24 km/h (15 mph).
• The vehicle speed is below 10 km/h (6 mph).
If the
message appears:
•
Use the climate control system to cool down the
interior and, if necessary, also use defroster mode
with the air flow directed towards the camera.
Start driving the vehicle to lower the windscreen
temperature, which cools down the area around
the camera.
• The windscreen wipers run at high speed for more than a few seconds.
•
The system operation resumes once the condition that caused it to cancel improves.
■
To manually cancel the system temporarily
If the
message appears:
You can cancel the operation when you manually change the headlights to high
beams. Push the lever forward until you hear a click, or lightly pull the lever towards
you to flash high beams. The high beam support system indicator goes off.
•
Park your vehicle in a safe place, and clean the
windscreen. If the message does not disappear
after you have cleaned the windscreen and driven
for a while, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
If you want the high beam support system operation to resume at once, pull and
hold the lever towards you for a few seconds.
