System limits
You should always give priority to your
own judgement over that of the high-
beam headlights assistant in respect of the use
of high-beam headlights. In such situations you
should dip the headlights manually in order not
to create a safety hazard.<
In the following specimen situations, the sys-
tem will not operate or its operation will be sub-
ject to restrictions and your intervention may be
required:
> In extremely unfavourable weather condi-
tions, such as fog or heavy rain.
> In order to be able to perceive poorly-lit road
users such as pedestrians, cyclists, horses
and riders, carts, in situations where trains
or ships are travelling in the vicinity of the
road, wild animals such as deer crossing.
> On narrow bends, steep uphill or downhill
gradients, at traffic junctions or if your view
of oncoming traffic on a motorway is
obstructed.
> In poorly lit towns and where there are very
reflective signs.
> At low road speeds.
> If the windscreen in the area in front of the
inside mirror is dirty or is covered with stick-
ers, labels, etc.
> If the sensor is dirty. Use a cloth soaked in
glass cleaner to clean the sensor on the
front of the inside mirror.
