LIGHTING 153
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot
detect another vehicle lamps because
of any of the following:
.The other vehicle lamps are
missing, damaged, obstructed from
view, or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle lamps are covered
with dirt, snow, and/or road spray.
.The other vehicle lamps cannot be
detected due to dense exhaust,
smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne obstructions.
.The vehicle windshield is dirty,
cracked, or obstructed by something
that blocks the view of the light
sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded in a way that
the front end points upward,
causing the light sensor to aim high
and not detect headlamps and
taillamps.
.The vehicle is being driven on
winding or hilly roads.
The Adaptive Headlight system may
need to be disabled if any of the above
conditions exist.
Exterior Lamps Off

chime, turn the exterior lamp control
to off or AUTO and then back on,
or close and re-open the door. In the
AUTO mode, the headlamps turn off
