circumstances dictate:
F Press this button, the
indicator lamp goes off,
or
F Dipping the headlamps
manually using the lighting
control stalk, whether in the
"AutO" or "Dipped/main
beam headlamps" position.
Flashing the headlamps does not
deactivate the system.
the state of the system is stored in
memory when switching off the ignition.
this automatic headlamp dipping
system is a driving aid. the driver
remains responsible for the vehicle's
lighting and its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility
and traffic.
the system may suffer interference or
not work correctly:
- under conditions of poor visibility
(for example, snowfall, heavy rain
or thick fog, ...),
- if the windscreen is dirty, misted or
obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of
the sensor,
- if the vehicle is facing highly
reflective signs.
the system is not able to detect:
- road users that do not have their
own lighting, such as pedestrians,
- road users whose lighting is
obscured, such as vehicles running
behind a safety barrier (on a
motorway, for example),
- road users at the top or bottom of
a steep slope, on twisty roads, on
crossroads.
