sign or a mirror in vehicle ahead
– When the rear part of the vehicle
ahead, such as a container, reflects
light strongly
– When the headlights of your vehicle
are damaged or dirty
– When your vehicle is tilted, such as
in case the vehicle has a flat tire or is
being towed
. In the following conditions, the head-
light mode will not be automatically chan-
ged from the high beam to the low beam.
– When your vehicle passes an on-
coming vehicle suddenly in a blind
curve
– When another vehicle passes in
front of your vehicle
– When an oncoming vehicle or ve-
hicle ahead comes in and out of view
because of continuous curves, median
strips, roadside trees, etc.
. If the camera detects the light of the
front fog lights of an oncoming vehicle, the
headlight mode may change from the high
beam to the low beam automatically.
. The headlight mode may change from
the high beam to the low beam, or the low
beam mode may continue, when affected
by a street light, traffic signal, illumination
of an advertisement board, or a reflective
object such as a road sign and signboard.
. The timing of the change of headlight
mode may differ due to the following
factors.
– The vehicle condition (e. g., number
of passengers or weight of loaded
cargo)
– The surroundings (e. g., movement
and direction of an oncoming vehicle
or vehicle ahead)
– The limitations of the camera's
ability to detect object within the field
of view
