2018 Honda Ridgeline Owners Manual - Auto High Beam

When you are driving at night above 25 mph (40 km/h) and the headlight lever is in the low beam position with the switch rotated to AUTO, the system changes between low and high beams depending on the brightness of the vehicle lights ahead of you.

If a vehicle is detected ahead of you, the headlights stay in low beams. If the system does not detect any vehicles ahead of you, the headlights change to high beams.

Certain conditions, such as weather and brightness of other vehicles' lights, can affect system operation.

Make sure the headlight lever is in the low beam position with the switch rotated to the AUTO position. The auto high beam system indicator comes on.

To disable the system: Pull and hold the headlight lever toward you for about 40 seconds, until the indicator flashes twice.

To enable the system: Pull and hold the headlight lever toward you for about 30 seconds, until the indicator flashes once.

To temporarily cancel operation, do either of the following:

• Flash the high beams by moving the lever toward you. Flash the high beams again to resume auto high beam operation.
• Engage high beams by moving the lever into the high beam position. Return the lever to the low beam position to resume auto high beam operation.

If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient for driving, change the beams manually.

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.
