Seeing and being seen are crucial for safety
Do not rely on automatic light control in fog
The automatic light control in modern cars takes a lot of work off the hands of drivers: It automatically switches on the low-beam headlights when it gets dark or when you drive into an underground car park or through a tunnel. However, in fog and other diffuse light conditions, the automatic system often does not work perfectly: DEKRA experts advise drivers to think for themselves and switch on the low beam manually.
- Some situations require switching on the low beam manually
- When the daytime running lights are on, the rear lights remain off
- In poor visibility, adjust your speed and keep your distance
