happens, the High/Low-Beam
Changer must be activated two
times within five seconds to
reactivate the automatic
high-beam system. The
instrument cluster light will come
on to indicate the automatic
high-beam system is reactivated.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot
detect other vehicle's lamps
because of any of the following:
.
The other vehicle's lamp(s) are
missing, damaged, obstructed
from view, or otherwise
undetected.
.
The other vehicle's lamp(s) are
covered with dirt, snow, and/or
road spray.
.
The other vehicle's lamp(s)
cannot be detected due to dense
exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road
spray, mist, or other airborne
obstructions.
.
Your vehicle's windshield is dirty,
cracked, or obstructed by
something that blocks the view
of the light sensor.
.
Your vehicle's windshield is
covered with ice, dirt, haze,
or other obstructions.
.
Your vehicle is loaded such that
the front end points upward,
causing the light sensor to aim
high and not detect headlamps
and taillamps.
.
You are driving on winding or
hilly roads.
You may need to manually disable
or cancel the high-beam headlamps
by turning the low-beam headlamps
on, if any of the above conditions
exist.
