1. A method of operating an automotive vehicle headlight system having a high-beam state and a low-beam state, comprising:

  • operating the system in an automatic mode in which switching between the states is directed based upon signals from a sensor for detecting traffic conditions;

    when an operator switches the system away from the automatically-determined state to an operator-selected state, operating the system in a manual mode in which switching is not based upon the sensor signals; and

    returning the system to the automatic mode when the automatically-determined state matches the manually-selected state.
