Auto High Beam
The front sensor camera detects the light sources ahead of the vehicle such as the lights of a preceding or oncoming vehicle, or street lights. When you are driving at night, the system automatically switches the headlights between low beam and high beam depending on the situation.
- Do not place an object that reflects light on the dashboard.
- Keep the windshield around the camera clean. When cleaning the windshield, be careful not to apply windshield cleanser to the camera lens.
- Do not attach an object, sticker or film in the area around the camera.
- Do not touch the camera lens.
If the camera receives a strong impact or requires repair, consult a dealer.
If you see the message “Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot Operate: Clean Front Windshield", park your vehicle in a safe place. Wipe away debris blocking the windshield, then start driving again. If the message remains even after driving for a while with the clean windshield, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
If you see a message that the camera is too hot, use the climate control system to cool the interior. Defroster mode will direct airflow toward the camera.
