Adaptive High-Beam System (AHS)

An enhancement of Automatic High Beam, the Adaptive High Beam System uses a camera located on top of the vehicle to detect and adjust to vehicles ahead.

LEXUS SAFETY

An evolution on the concept of Automatic High Beam, Adaptive High-Beam senses the road and reacts to it. Perfectly balancing the need for visibility and consideration for other drivers, Adaptive High Beam System brings a new level of comfort to night-time driving.

ADAPTIVE HIGH BEAM

Adaptive High-Beam intelligently enables and disables individual LEDs within each headlamp for precision control over the distribution of light. The system uses a camera on the top of the vehicle, to detect light from vehicles in front and smoothly illuminate the road ahead, while avoiding preceding or oncoming vehicles with pinpoint accuracy.

This allows drivers to enjoy their most vividly lit night-time drive, providing exceptional visibility while delivering calmer driving conditions, without the need to repeatedly alternate between high and low beam.

BLADESCAN TM ADAPTIVE HIGH-BEAM SYSTEMS (AHS)

BladeScan TM is a further refinement of our Adaptive High-Beam System (AHS). Rather than shining light forwards, the LEDs in each BladeScan module cast light diagonally across two blade-shaped mirrors that rotate at high speed.

The precise synchronisation of the mirror rotation and the switching on and off of the LEDs creates the shading effect; the light is then reflected into a lens which casts the beam on to the road ahead, without the risk of dazzling oncoming traffic or drivers of vehicles ahead. The result is finer control of the area of illumination in front of the car, allowing greater illumination without dazzling other traffic.

 

Disclaimer: Do not use the Lexus Safety System instead of normal driving under any circumstances and please read the instructions before operating the system. The driver is always responsible for driving safely.
