Do not use a high beam where it may distract other road users.
Low exterior light levels, caused by adverse weather conditions, may also cause the auto lights to activate.
In the event of a bulb failure, it should be noted that some bulbs are replaceable only by a retailer/authorized repairer. See CHANGING A BULB.
During normal daylight operation, the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) operate automatically, with the lighting control in the AUTO position.
The DRL switch on automatically under the following conditions:
Turn the lighting control to the OFF position to switch off the DRL. The DRL can be manually switched off only when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is running. Repeat the process to switch off the DRL during a journey.
Headlight courtesy delay operates whenever the lighting control is in the AUTO position and the ignition is switched off. The headlights remain illuminated for up to 4 minutes.
The time delay may be changed via the Vehicle settings menu. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU. Press the headlight button on the smart key to switch off courtesy lights at any time.
The Auto High Beam Assist (AHBA) system cannot be relied upon to activate or deactivate the high beam in all possible circumstances. The driver remains responsible for the correct use of the headlights at all times. Incorrect use of the headlights may cause injury or death.
The forward-facing sensors are mounted on the rear of the rear-view mirror. Keep this area of the vehicle clean and free from obstructions, e.g., stickers, debris, mud, snow, or ice. Failure to do so can lead to accidents causing serious injury or death.
The AHBA feature is a reactive system, not a predictive system. Its automated function relies on a clear view of other vehicle light sources, at which point the system will react. The AHBA system automatically disables high beams in the presence of other road users and street-lit environments, enabling the high beams in their absence. The system is only active when the ambient light drops below a predetermined level. AHBA is enabled when the lighting control is in the AUTO position and AHBA is selected within the instrument panel.
The driver can disable and re-enable the AHBA system at any time as follows:
The AHBA system only activates when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h). The system deactivates when the vehicle’s speed drops below 15 mph (24 km/h). Push and release the lighting control to manually override to low beam from the high beam. Rotate the collar to AUTO to return to AHBA. The instrument panel warning lamp illuminates. See AUTO HIGH BEAM ASSIST (AHBA) (WHITE). Push and release the lighting control to manually select the high beam. Rotate the lighting control to AUTO to return to AHBA.
The following situations may limit the performance of AHBA:
