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.

If the camera receives a strong impact or requires repair in the area near the camera, consult a dealer.
