vehicle. Therefore, you may feel like some-
thing is not quite right when the headlamp
beams are switched automatically.
l
The system may not detect a light vehicle
such as a bicycle.
l
The system may not detect an ambient
brightness precisely. This causes the traffic
to be dazzled by high-beam or the low beam
to be maintained. In such cases, you should
switch the headlamp beams manually.

sandstorm).
