HEADLAMPS – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHY IS THERE CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLAMPS?

  • Headlamps have vents to accommodate normal changes in air pressure. Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a fine mist can form on the interior of the lens. The fine mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation.

HOW MUCH CONDENSATION IS ACCEPTABLE?

  • The presence of a fine mist, for example no streaks, drip marks or large droplets. A fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE ACCEPTABLE CONDENSATION TO CLEAR?

  • Clearing time can take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions.

HOW MUCH CONDENSATION IS UNACCEPTABLE?

  • A water puddle inside the lamp. Streaks, drip marks or large droplets present on the interior of the lens.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF UNACCEPTABLE CONDENSATION IS PRESENT?

  • Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

WHY DO MY HEADLAMPS TURN OFF WHEN I HAVE THEM SWITCHED ON WHEN I SWITCH MY VEHICLE OFF?

  • The battery saver turns the headlamps off after a short period of time after you switch your vehicle off.

Automatic high beam control

HOW DOES AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL WORK

Automatic high beam control turns the high beams on if it is dark enough and no other traffic is present. If it detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead, the system turns the high beams off.

A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind the windshield of your vehicle, continuously monitors conditions to turn the high beams on and off.

AWithout automatic high beam control.
BWith automatic high beam control.
