cific light and automatically switches
from high beams to low beams until
the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE: Broken, muddy or ob-
structed headlights and taillights
of vehicles in the field of view will
cause headlights to remain on lon-
ger (closer to the vehicle). Also,
dirt, film and other obstructions
on the windshield or camera lens
will cause the system to function
improperly.
