cracked, or obstructed by
something that blocks the view of
the light sensor.
. The vehicle is loaded such that the
front end points upward, causing
the light sensor to aim high and
not detect headlamps and
taillamps.

winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beam headlamps
may need to be disabled if any of the
above conditions exist.
