How to Use Automatic High Beam Headlights 

It’s pretty straightforward. First, make sure your headlights are set to “auto” on the stalk. Then, press the AHB button (usually located on the dashboard or steering wheel) to activate the system. Once you’re driving over a certain speed in low-light conditions, your Toyota will automatically switch between high and low beams based on detected traffic ahead or behind you.  

You don’t have to keep flicking the lever—the system does the thinking for you. Heading down a dark backroad and the coast is clear? High beams pop on for maximum visibility. If another car comes into view, they dip to low beam so you’re not that person blinding oncoming drivers.

What Are the Advantages of Automatic High Beam Headlights? 

  • Better Visibility Without the Fuss – You get brighter road illumination when you need it most, especially on rural or dimly lit streets, without constantly adjusting your lights manually.  
  • More Focus on the Road – Since you’re not distracted by the headlight lever, you can keep both hands on the wheel and your eyes on traffic signs, curves, or any wildlife that might appear.  
  • Courtesy to Other Drivers—You won’t have to accidentally leave your high beams on and dazzling someone in the opposite lane. The system lowers your lights automatically, making night driving more pleasant for everyone.
