ment Panel” for further infor-
mation.
 Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and taillights of ve-
hicles in the field of view will
cause headlights to remain on
longer (closer to the vehicle).
Also, dirt, film, and other ob-
structions on the windshield or camera lens will cause the sys-
tem to function improperly.
