■Camera sensor detection information
●High beam may not be automatically tu rned off in the following situations:
• When oncoming vehicles sudd enly appear from a curve

• When oncoming or preceding vehicles are hidden from sight due to repeated
curves, road dividers or roadside trees
●High beam may be turned off if an oncoming vehicle that is using fog lights without
using the headlights is detected.
