The high-beam headlamps remain on, under
the automatic control, until one of the
following situations occurs:
The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps.
The system detects a preceding vehicle's
taillamps.
The outside light is bright enough that
high-beam headlamps are not required.
The vehicle speed drops below 20 km/h
(12 mph).
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot detect
another vehicle's lamps because of any of
the following:
The other vehicle's lamps are 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 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.

The DRL come on when all of the following
conditions are met:
