Automatic High Beams is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what is ahead at nighttime without obstructing other driver’s views. Auto High Beams help you by detecting nearby light sources like the headlights or taillights of surrounding vehicles. This system automatically switches between high beams and low beams which will improve your visibility during night drives. When there are normal evening driving conditions, your high beams offer long range illumination which is what helps you see well at night. With Automatic High Beams, your lights will automatically activate when your vehicle is operating at more than 25 miles per hour. At the same time, the area in front of your vehicle must be dark, there should be no oncoming headlights or taillights in front of you, and there should be no strong lighting coming from street lights ahead of the vehicle either. Once all of the criteria are met an in-vehicle camera will measure the amount of light and the Automatic High Beams will turn on. When you approach an oncoming vehicle or drive closer to a vehicle in front of you, the in-vehicle camera will sense the light and your high beams will automatically switch to low beams. You can brighten your night driving with Auto High Beams. Stop into Markquart Toyota to check out the new Tundras, RAV4s, Corollas and more that come with auto high beam technology.
