How To Use Nissan High Beam Assist

High Beam Assist (HBA) is a technology featured in Nissan Safety Shield 360. The system will automatically switch the high beam lights to low beam when a vehicle is coming or a vehicle ahead is detected. The system will return the lights to high beam when needed. HBA works at night, in a tunnel and at approximately 25 mph. When there is no oncoming vehicle or no other vehicle ahead, high beam will automatically activate.

To activate HBA, switch the headlights to AUTO. After engaging and depending on your model, you will push the lever or press the button at the end of the lever. If you have a lever, push it forward, away from you. If you have the button, press it. You will know the HBA is activated when you see the high beam assist indicator light illuminated on the instrument panel. Move the switch back to its normal position, towards you, to deactivate the High Beam Assist. Or press the button to deactivate. The indicator light will turn off.

The ambient light sensor used by the HBA is located in front of the inside rearview mirror. Be sure to keep the windshield clean and do not place stickers or accessories near the sensor.

Don’t you love Nissan’s High Beam Assist? It’s important when driving in the dark that you use the high beam headlights to see as much as you can with maximum visibility.
