A camera sensor is centrally mounted behind the windshield of the
vehicle, and monitors the conditions to decide when to switch the high

• The ambient light level is low enough that high beams are needed.
• There is no traffic in front of the vehicle.
• Vehicle speed is greater than 32 mph (52 km/h).
• Severe weather is not detected.
The high beams will switch off if:
• An approaching vehicle’s headlights or a preceding vehicle’s tail lamps

are detected.

• The vehicle speed falls below 27 mph (44 km/h).
• The ambient light level is high enough that high beams are not

needed.

• Severe rain, snow or fog is detected.
