▷ In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snowfall.

▷ In tight curves.

▷ If the camera view field or the front windshield are dirty or covered.

▷ When driving toward bright lights.

▷ In the case of vehicles with insufficiently visible tail lamps.

▷ In the case of partially covered vehicles.

▷ Up to 10 seconds after the start of the engine, via the Start/Stop knob.
