▷ In tight curves, on hilltops or in depressions, in cross traffic or half-obscured oncoming traffic on freeways..
▷ In poorly-lit towns and cities and in the presence of highly reflective signs.

▷ At low speeds..
▷ When the windshield in front of the interior rearview mirror is fogged over, dirty or covered with stickers, etc..
