High Beam Assist Operation

  • After selecting High Beam Assist from the Settings menu, to operate High Beam Assist:
    - Place the headlight switch in the AUTO position and push the turn signal lever away from you. The High Beam Assist indicator () illuminates.
    - When High Beam Assist is activated, the high beam turns on when the vehicle speed is above 25 mph (40 km/h) and the high beam indicator () illuminates. When the vehicle speed is below 25 km/h, the high beam does not turn on and the indicator illuminates in white.

    - Headlights of an oncoming vehicle are detected.
    - Taillights of a vehicle ahead are detected.
    - A headlight or taillight of a motorcycle or bicycle is detected.
    - The ambient light is bright enough that high beams are not required.
