safe driving operation. The driver
should remain alert at all times, en-
sure safe driving practices and switch
the high beams and low beam manu-
ally when necessary.
∙ The high beam or low beam may not switch automatically under the fol-
lowing conditions. Switch the high
beam and low beam manually.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.).
– When a light source similar to a headlight or tail light is in the vicin-
ity of the vehicle. – When the headlights of the on-
coming vehicle or the leading ve-
hicle are turned off, when the color
of the light is affected due to for-
eign materials on the lights, or
when the light beam is out of
position.
– When there is a sudden, continu- ous change in brightness.
– When driving on a road that passes over rolling hills, or a road that has
level differences.
– When driving on a road with many curves.
– When a sign or mirror-like surface is reflecting intense light towards
the front of the vehicle.
– When the container, etc. being 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 under the
following situations.
