• 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.

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
