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 select the automatic or passing beam primary lighting mode.
You can choose between manual and automatic high beam. However, automatic high beam is only available in automatic lights mode1 and only activates in low lighting conditions.
Automatic 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.
You can use the left-hand steering wheel stalk to switch between the manual high beam and the automatic high beam. There are symbols in the instrument panel that show which high beam setting is currently active. These include:
 | Manual high beam is active. |
 | The automatic high beam is enabled but not active.2 |
 | The automatic high beam is active and the lights are turned on. |
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.
