What it means
This green indicator usually means automatic high-beam control is active or managing the headlights. Green is informational; whether it means the feature is armed or high beams are currently on varies by manufacturer.
What the symbol looks like: A headlamp symbol with an A or similar marking, sometimes with light beams, indicates automatic high-beam control.
Why it comes on
- Automatic high-beam control was enabled.
- The vehicle is switching between high and low beams automatically.
- A camera or sensor may be temporarily unable to detect other road users or lighting conditions.
What to do
- Check the owner's manual to learn what the indicator means on this vehicle.
- Watch the road and confirm the beam is appropriate for conditions.
- Dip the headlights manually if they could dazzle another road user.
- If the system reports a fault or remains unavailable, use the lights manually and arrange a check.
Can I keep driving?
You can keep driving if the headlights work, but do not rely on automatic control when visibility or oncoming traffic requires you to change beams yourself.
Symbols and colours differ between makes and models. Your owner’s manual shows the exact lights of your car.
