PRECAUTIONS: INTELLIGENT HIGH BEAM

Intelligent High Beam (5) operation is dependent on the in-vehicle camera’s ability to see clearly and detect preceding headlights or taillights, as well as the visibility of the preceding headlights or taillights themselves. Situations such as a fogged, dirty, broken, or tinted windshield or ice, rain, snow, or sticker-covered windshield blocking the camera may affect Intelligent High Beam (5) operation. It is the driver’s responsibility to pay attention to his or her surroundings and directly confirm the safety of surroundings by turning high beams ON and OFF manually as needed.

IN THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, THE SYSTEM MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCURATELY DETECT SURROUNDING VEHICLES
AND LIGHT:

  1. 1. Bad weather conditions such as rain, fog, snow or a dust storm
  2. 2. A road with frequent curves or when there is a sharp curve
  3. 3. When driving on a road that is uneven (rough roads such as stone paving, gravel road, unpaved road, etc.)
  4. 4. If a vehicle in front is driving without lights or using irregular lights, odd color lights or where the light axis is offset
  5. 5. When road conditions go up and down frequently

Other:

  • • When the windshield reflects something on the dashboard
  • • When there is light similar to headlights or taillights in the vicinity
  • • If there is a vehicle in front with very dirty headlights or taillights
  • • When surroundings become light and dark frequently
  • • When there is an object in front that strongly reflects light (mirror, sign, etc.)
  • • When the vehicle is inclined front to back or side to side while driving (load, tire pressure, changes to suspension, when being towed)
  • • When the vehicle is inclined front to back or side to side
  • • When there is a problem with the vehicle or if modified
