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 activate either automatic lights mode or the manual passing beam.
You can choose between either automatic high beam or manual high beam.
When enabled, automatic high beam automatically switches between high beam and passing beam to avoid causing glare to other road users.
Note
Automatic high beam only activates at speeds over approximately 20 km/h (12 mph), in low light conditions.
There are symbols in the instrument panel that show which high beam setting is currently active. These include:
 | Manual high beam is active. |
 | Automatic high beam is enabled.1 |
 | Automatic high beam is active. |
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.
