Important
Remember that your ability to see the road properly in low lighting conditions is important not just for your own safety, but for other road users and pedestrians too.
The high beam is more powerful and has a longer reach of illumination than the passing beam. To use the high beam, you must first select the automatic or passing beam primary lighting mode.
When automatic high beam is active, the vehicle automatically reacts to oncoming traffic to avoid causing glare to other road users.
Note
The automatic high beam only activates at speeds over approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) and in low light.
You can use the left-hand steering wheel stalk to switch between the manual high beam and the automatic high beam. There are symbols in the instrument panel that show which high beam setting is currently active. These include:
 | Manual high beam is active. |
 | The automatic high beam is enabled but not active. |
 | The automatic high beam is active and the lights are turned on. |
Important
Make sure that the vehicle cameras are well-maintained and kept clean. If the cameras’ views are obscured by dirt, they will not be able to obtain enough information to properly direct the car’s lighting responses.
