The automatic lighting system is activated on your car. What should you anticipate when driving in the lighting conditions shown?

Your choices 1 and 2 are correct.

In daylight fog or haze like in the picture, many automatic light systems don’t switch on the low beam because the sensor still “sees” enough ambient brightness. The system is mainly triggered by darkness (night, tunnels), not reliably by reduced visibility.

That creates a second problem: if the low beam doesn’t come on, the rear lights often stay off as well on many cars. Then drivers behind you can notice you much later in the fog, even though visibility is already poor.

Rule of thumb in Germany: In fog, rain, or snow, don’t rely on “AUTO”. If visibility is reduced, switch on low beam manually so you are visible from the front and the rear. Fog lights are not switched on automatically; you may only use front fog lights when visibility is significantly reduced, and the rear fog light only when visibility is below 50 m.
