missing, damaged, obstructed from
view, or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle's lamps are
covered with dirt, snow, and/or road
spray.
.The other vehicle's lamps cannot be
detected due to dense exhaust,
smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne obstructions.
.The vehicle's windshield is dirty,
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.
.The vehicle is being driven on
winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beam headlamps
may need to be disabled if any of the
above conditions exist.
