No Automatic Headlights on Toyota Corolla Fielder?

January 2

Hello everyone, I just bought a 2017 Toyota Corolla Fielder Hybrid. A Japanese import to New Zealand.

There doesn't seem to be an auto headlights option(?)

I think I am surely missing something here, because Fielder is relatively far smarter than my previous first car 2006 Nissan hatchback and the Nissan had that option.

Also, Fielder has 'Auto High Beam'(AHB) switch, which is a relatively advanced feature.

The headlight stalk looks like this for reference.

Where is the AHB switch located? I have a 2015 Fielder which doesn't have that feature.

My understanding is that to activate the Auto mode, you turn the lights on using the stalk and pressing the auto button as shown in this pic. I'm not 100% sure as I don't have a similar model to confirm.

A note for you to consider. I worked as an AA Roadside Assist Officer for some years. On a number of occasions I attended a callout for a flat Battery. On arriving, I found that the Battery had gone flat due to the auto function on the headlights not turning the lights off. This would have been a very small percentage of the vehicles fitted with and using the auto function at that time.

Hope this is usefull info

the switches below the start button - top right is High Beam Assist. Bottom right is LDA (lane departure assist) Bottom left is pre-collision this is known in the west as TSS2 or Toyota Safety Sense 2

auto lights are on the stalk and have an extra Auto setting on the stalk eg. 84140-12570 (15-17 fielder)
