i-ACTIVSENSE

• Headlights do not blind drivers approaching in the opposite direction no matter what side of the road you must drive your vehicle (left-hand or right-hand traffic). Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the optical axis of the headlights when switching temporarily to driving on the opposite side of the road (left-hand or right-hand traffic).

• The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) function can be switched to operable/inoperable using the personalisation function.

  Refer to Personalisation Features (Search).

The timing in which the system switches the headlights changes under the following conditions. If the system does not switch the headlights appropriately, manually switch between high and low beams according to the visibility as well as road and traffic conditions.

• When there are sources of light in the area such as street lamps, illuminated signboards, and traffic signals.

• When there are reflective objects in the surrounding area such as reflective plates and signs.

• When visibility is reduced under rain, snow and foggy conditions.

• When driving on roads with sharp turn or hilly terrain.

• When the headlights/rear lamps of vehicles in front of you or in the opposite lane are dim or not illuminated.

• When there is sufficient darkness such as at dawn or dusk.

• When the luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects.

• When visibility is reduced due to a vehicle in front of you spraying water from its tyres onto your windscreen.

• If your vehicle deviates from its traffic lane, the LDWS operates (warning sound and indicator light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the centre of the lane.

• When the direction indicator lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning is automatically cancelled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the direction indicator lever is returned and the system detects the white or yellow lines.

• If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the vehicle moves close to a white or yellow line, the system determines that the driver is making a lane change and the LDWS warning is automatically cancelled.

• The LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has deviated from its lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly within a short period of time.

• The LDWS does not operate if it does not detect the white or yellow lines of the traffic lane.

• Under the following conditions, the LDWS may not be able to detect white or yellow lines correctly and the LDWS may not operate correctly.

  • If an object placed on the instrument panel is reflected in the windscreen and picked up by the camera.

  • Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment the vehicle is inclined.

  • The tyre pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.

  • When the vehicle is driven on the entry and exit to or from the rest area or tollgate of a highway.

  • The white or yellow lines are less visible because of dirt or paint flaking.

  • The vehicle ahead is running near a white or yellow line and the line is less visible.

  • A white or yellow line is less visible because of bad weather (rain, fog, or snow).

  • The vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane due to construction.

  • A misleading line is picked up on the road such as a temporary line for construction, or because of shade, lingering snow, or grooves filled with water.

  • The surrounding brightness suddenly changes such as when entering or exiting a tunnel.

  • The illumination of the headlights is weakened because of dirt or the optical axis is deviated.

  • The windscreen is dirty or foggy.

  • Back-light is reflecting from the road surface.

  • The road surface is wet and shiny after rain, or there are puddles on the road.

  • The shade of a guardrail parallel to a white or yellow line is on the road.

  • The width of a lane is excessively narrow or wide.

  • The road is excessively uneven.

  • The vehicle is shaken after hitting a road bump.

  • There are two or more adjacent white or yellow lines.

  • There are various road markings or lane markings of various shapes near an intersection.
