Operating the lights and wipers out its headlights turned on is detected. ● House lights, street lights, traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs and other reflective objects may cause the high beams to change to the low beams, or the low beams to remain on. ● The following factors may affect the amount of time taken for the high beams to turn on or off: • The brightness of the headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead • The movement and direction of vehicles ahead • When a vehicle ahead only has opera- tional lights on one side • When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle • The condition of the road (gradient, curve, condition of the road surface, etc.) • The number of passengers and amount of luggage in the vehicle ● The high beams may turn on or off unex- pectedly. ● Bicycles or similar vehicles may not be detected. ● In the following situations the system may not be able to correctly detect the sur- rounding brightness level. This may cause the low beams to remain on or the high beams to flash or dazzle pedestrians or vehicles ahead.
