The system detects the headlamps of oncoming vehicles, tail lamps of preceding vehicles, and brightness of the surrounding area. When it detects a vehicle within the area illuminated by the high beams, it disables/enables 24 LEDs on each side to minutely adjust the lit and unlit areas, optimizing light distribution. By partially blocking light from the high-beam headlamps so that they don’t directly project onto a preceding or oncoming vehicle, the system helps contribute to safe driving at night.

When the millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera sensors detect a vehicle ahead, a pedestrian during the day or at night, or a cyclist during the day*1 and determine that a collision is likely, it alerts the driver and activates pre-collision brake assist when the driver depresses the brake pedal. If the driver cannot depress the brake pedal, it activates the pre-collision brakes to help avoid a collision or mitigate the impact force.

The large glass roof lets in an abundance of light, adding to the spacious airy feeling in the cabin. It has three sections: the front acts as a wind deflector when the center is slid open, the center has a power tilt and slide function, and the rear is a fixed type. For safe operation during closing, the glass roof stops temporarily in a safe position, and requires a further press of the close switch to fully close it.

The slim, square design of the 3-eye Bi-Beam LED headlamps projects a sharp futuristic look, heightened by the thin light beam design of the turn signal lamps. It integrates innovative BladeScan AHS headlamps to help provide excellent nighttime visibility, to help support early recognition of pedestrians and road signs for reliable, stress-free driving.
