Technology overview
Automatic switching between high and low beams when driving at night
Auto High-Beam automatically switches between high and low beams, helping to create good visibility for the driver and reducing the frequency of manual beam switching.
A camera detects elements forward of the user’s vehicle such as headlights of oncoming vehicles, taillights of vehicles in front and streetlights. When driving at a speed over around 30 km/h, the system automatically switches to high beam if there are no oncoming vehicles or vehicles in front, or to low beam if it detects vehicles oncoming or in front or multiple street lights.
How it works
Auto High-Beam is activated at night when the light switch is on Auto and the light switch lever is in the low beam position.
