AHB (Auto Hi Beam)
Using a camera sensor to assess the brightness of the lights of vehicles ahead, of streetlights, etc. AHB automatically turns the bike’s high beams on or off as necessary. For the system to function, the dimmer/passing switch must be set to high beam, the bike must be travelling above 20 km/h, and it must be dark. When the system has been engaged, the icon displayed on the instrument screen will show green.
