● In  the  situations  shown  below,  the  system  may  not  be  able  to  accurately
detect  surrounding  brightness  levels.  This  may  cause  the  low  be ams  to
remain  on  or  the  high  beams  to  cause  problems  for  pedestrians,  vehicles
ahead  or  other  parties.  In  these  cases,  manually  switch  between   the  high

truck.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc.
