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 turn the headlights down manually in
order not to create a safety hazard.

In the following example situations, the system
will not operate or its operation will be subject to
restrictions and your intervention may be
required:

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, deer passing
> 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
