The low beams never exceeded glare limits.
High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was inadequate on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual left curve and fair on the sharp left and both right curves.
High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on both left curves.

## Making roads and vehicles safer for everyone.
The **Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)** is an independent, nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to reducing deaths, injuries and property damage from motor vehicle crashes through research and evaluation and through education of consumers, policymakers and safety professionals.
The **Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI)** shares and supports this mission through scientific studies of insurance data representing the human and economic losses resulting from the ownership and operation of different types of vehicles and by publishing insurance loss results by vehicle make and model.
Both organizations are wholly supported by [these auto insurers and insurance associations](https://www.iihs.org/about/member-groups).

**Low beams**
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual left and both right curves and fair on the sharp left curve.
The low beams never exceeded glare limits.
**High beams**
On the straightaway, visibility was inadequate on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual left curve and fair on the sharp left and both right curves.
High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on both left curves.
