    Ah, I think you are right. I can't find much online, what is the main differences?

    AHB is just turning high beams on and off automatically. The lights project fixed patterns.

    AHS uses the fact that the headlights are actually a matrix of LEDs to control the shape.

    For example, cars ahead don't necessarily mean turning the high beams off - it can just cut out the light in that direction.

    Here's the first manual page:

    And here's an old Toyota press release, with a link to a video with annoying music going into more detail

    We do not have AHS, just AHB. US regulations.. blah blah blah and Canada usually follows the US for simplicity's sake.

    It's also why we don't have the higher powered high beam headlights that Euro-spec cars have (because auto-levelling isn't required) as well as sequential indicators.

    I am SO jealous of you Canadians. You get the good colors. I love that yellow, and when I saw it on a YouTube review, I wanted it immediately, but no joy in the country south of you. Sigh. Congrats on your new car. I have a Chill Pearl (I hope) coming in a few weeks. They have my deposit, so....)

    Does anyone have any further info on the "My Home" function? Will it allow you to run the air conditioning while charging?

    You can run the AC while charging the Gen 4 Prime's, but charging appears to stop while the AC is running.

    -- On a waiting list for a Guardian Gray or Wind Chill Pearl XSE Premium. I expect to get a call later NEXT year if I'm lucky. This is to pay MSRP. My local Toyota dealerships have told me that with a "mere" $5000 markup, I can get in line immediately for the next Prime unless I get outbid. Gonna pass on that. I can spend that $5k on a very expensive tint job and clear bra instead.

    Yes it will keep charging - as long as the power required to run the AC doesn’t exceed the amount supplied by the charger. Otherwise it uses the battery to make up the difference.

    It’s described in better detail on page 134 of the manual - under “power balance”.
