— Automatic headlights are only intended to 
assist the driver. They do not relieve  the 
driver of responsibility to check the head- 
lights and to turn them on manually based 
on the current light and visibility conditions. 
For example, fog cannot be detected by the 
light sensors. So always switch on the low 
beams ZO under these weather conditions 
and when driving in the dark.
