for safe driving operation. The driver
should remain alert at all times, en-
sure safe driving practices and
switch the high beams and low beam

switch automatically under the fol-
lowing conditions. Switch the high
beam and low beam manually.

ous change in brightness.

towed by a leading vehicle is re-
flecting intense light.
– When a headlight on your vehicle
is damaged or dirty.
– When the vehicle is leaning at an
angle due to a punctured tire, be-
ing towed, etc. •
The timing of switching the low
beam and high beam may change

leading vehicle.
– When only one light on the on-
coming vehicle or the leading ve-
hicle is illuminated.
