or by dipping the headlamps manually using the lighting control stalk, whether
in the "AUTO" or "Dipped/main beam
headlamps" position.
Flashing the headlamps does notdeactivate 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'slighting and its correct use for theprevailing 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 dir ty, 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 isobscured, such as vehicles running behind a safety barrier (on amotorway, for example),
- road users at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on twisty roads, oncrossroads.
