ily lowering in the following ways. 1. Park your vehicle in a safe place and the ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” or “LOCK” position or the operation mode is put in OFF.2. Press the automatic high beam system switch more than 15 times within 5 sec- onds after operation mode is turned on.
• A vehicle in front
or oncoming vehicle is
hindered by any object
such as continuous
bends, elevated median/i
sland, traffic signs,
roadside trees. • Your vehicle passes
an oncoming vehicle
suddenly on a bend with poor visibility. • Another vehicle crosse
s ahead of your vehi-
cle.
 The headlights may remain at low beam (or be switched from high beam to low beam) when a reflective object (e.g. street light, traffic signal, noticeboard and signboard)  Any of the following factors may influence the headlight beam switching timing: • How brightly the exteri
or lights of a vehicle
in front or oncoming
vehicle il
luminate.
• Movement or direction
of a vehicle in front
or oncoming vehicle. • Only right or left exte
rior light of a vehicle
in front or oncoming
vehicle is illuminat-
ing. • A vehicle in front or
oncoming vehicle is a
motorcycle. • Road conditions (gradient, bends and road surface). • The number of occupa
nts and luggage load.
 The automatic high beam
system recognises
environmental conditi
ons by sensing a light
source ahead of your ve
hicle. Therefore, you
may feel like someth
ing is not quite right
when the headlight beams are switched auto- matically.NOTE
 The system may not de
tect a light vehicle
such as a bicycle.  The system may not detect an ambient brightness precisely. Th
is causes the traffic
to be dazzled by high beam or the low beamto be maintained. In such cases, you should switch the headli
ght beams manually.
• In bad weather (heavy
rain, fog, snow or
sandstorm). • The windshield is dirty or fogged up. • The windshield is cracked or broken.• The sensor is deformed or dirty. • A light, which is simila
r to the headlights or
tail lights, is shining around your vehicle. • A vehicle in front
or oncoming vehicle is
driven without lights, the exterior lights are dirty or discoloured, or the direction of theheadlight beams is adjusted improperly. • It becomes dark and bright suddenly and continuously around your vehicle. • Your vehicle is driven on uneven surfaces.• Your vehicle is driven on a winding road. • A reflective object such as a noticeboard or a mirror reflects a li
ght ahead of your vehi-
cle. • When lights of the vehicle in front or head- lights of an oncoming ve
hicle blend into the
other lights. • The rear end of a vehicle in front (such as a container truck) re
flect a strong light.
• Your vehicle's headlight
is broken or dirty.
NOTE
• Your vehicle is inclined due to a flat tire or towing. • The warning display appears. (Refer to “System
problem warning” on
page 5-227.)
 Observe the precautions below to maintain good usage conditions: • Do not attempt to di
sassemble the sensor.
• Do not affix a sticker or label on the wind- shield near the sensor. • Avoid overload. • Do not modify your vehicle.• When the windshield is replaced, use the Mitsubishi Motors
