• Brightness and the color of light may change slightly immediately after turning the headlamp ON until the

xenon bulb becomes stable. This is normal.

• Illumination time lag may occur between right and left. This is normal.

AUTO LIGHT SYSTEM

The headlamp may not be turned ON/OFF immediately after passing dark area or bright area (short tunnel,
sky bridge, shadowed area etc.) while using the auto light system. This causes the control difference. This is
normal.
