Mitsubishi MOTORS Outlander PHEV 2017, Owner'S Manual

Page: 205 / 548

NOTE
l The headlamps may remain at low beam (or
be switched from high-beam to low beam)
when a reflective object (e.g. street lamp,
traffic signal, noticeboard and signboard) re-
flects light.
l Any of the following factors may influence
the headlamp beam switching timing:
• How brightly the exterior lamps of a vehi-
cle in front or oncoming vehicle illumi-
nate.
• Movement or direction of a vehicle in
front or oncoming vehicle.
• Only right or left exterior lamp of a vehi-
cle in front or oncoming vehicle is illumi-
nating.
• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
a motorcycle.
• Road conditions (gradient, bends and road
surface).
• The number of occupants and luggage
load.
l The automatic high-beam system recognises
environmental conditions by sensing a light
source ahead of your vehicle. Therefore, you
may feel like something is not quite right
when the headlamp beams are switched au-
tomatically.
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.
NOTE
• In bad weather (heavy rain, fog, snow or
sandstorm).
• The windscreen is dirty or fogged up.
• The windscreen is cracked or broken.
• The sensor is deformed or dirty.
• A light that is similar to the headlamps or
tail lamps is shining around your vehicle.
• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
driven without lights, the exterior lamps
are dirty or discoloured, or the direction
of the headlamp beams is adjusted im-
properly.
•
It becomes dark and bright suddenly and
continuously around your vehicle.
• Your vehicle is driven on uneven surfa-
ces.
•
Your vehicle is driven on a winding road.
• A reflective object such as a noticeboard
or a mirror reflects a light ahead of your
vehicle.
•
When lamps of the vehicle in front or
headlamps of an oncoming vehicle blend
into the other lamps.
• The rear end of a vehicle in front (such as
a container truck) reflect a strong light.
• Your vehicle’s headlamp is broken or
dirty.
• Your vehicle is inclined due to a flat tyre
or towing.
• The warning display appears.
(Refer to “System problem warning” on
