• A vehicle in front
or oncoming vehicle is
hindered by any object such as continuousbends, elevated median
/island, traffic signs,
roadside trees.• Your vehicle passes
an oncoming vehicle
suddenly on a bend with poor visibility.• Another vehicle crosse
s ahead of your vehi-
cle.
The headlights may remain at low beam (orbe switched from high beam to low beam)when a reflective object (e.g. street light,traffic signal, notic
eboard and signboard)
reflects light. Any of the following
factors may influence
the headlight beam switching timing:• How brightly the exteri
or lights of a vehicle
in front or oncoming
vehicle il
luminate.
• Movement or direction of a vehicle in frontor oncoming vehicle.• Only right or left exte
rior light of a vehicle
in front or oncoming
vehicle is illuminat-
ing.• A vehicle in front or
oncoming vehicle is a
motorcycle.• Road conditions (gradient, bends and roadsurface).• The number of occupants and luggage load.The automatic high beam system recognisesenvironmental conditi
ons by sensing a light
source ahead of your vehicle. Therefore, youmay feel like someth
ing is not quite right
when the headlight beams are switched auto-matically.NOTE
The system may not de
tect a light vehicle
such as a bicycle.The system may not detect an ambientbrightness precisely. Th
is causes the traffic
to be dazzled by high beam or the low beamto be maintained. In such cases, you shouldswitch the headlight beams manually.• In bad weather (heavy rain, fog, snow orsandstorm).• The windshield is
dirty or fogged up.
• The windshield is cracked or broken.• The sensor is deformed or dirty.• A light, which is similar to the headlights ortail lights, is shin

driven without lights,
the exterior lights are
dirty or discoloured, or the direction of theheadlight beams is adjusted improperly. • It becomes dark and bright suddenly andcontinuously around your vehicle.• Your vehicle is driv
en on uneven surfaces.
• Your vehicle is driven on a winding road.• A reflective object su
ch as a noticeboard or
