in every situation. This syst em is just for assisting the 
driver. Always observe your  surroundings and switch 
the headlights between high beam and low beam 
manually if necessary.
If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient 
for driving, change the  headlight beams manually.
The range and the distance at which the camera can 
recognize varies de pending on conditions 
surrounding your vehicle.
Regarding the handling of  the camera mounted to 
the inside of the windshiel d, refer to the following.

When cleaning the windshield, be careful not to 
apply the windshield cleans er to the camera lens.
•Do not attach an object, sticker or film to the area 
around the camera.
