Correct answer

  • ASí, pero puede llevar la de largo alcance cuando no deslumbra.Yes, but it may use main beam when this does not dazzle anyone.
Explanation

Dipped headlights are used when driving on poorly lit roads outside built-up areas, or at any time of day through poorly lit tunnels and other stretches covered by the 'Tunnel' sign, in any of these situations: - when the vehicle has no main beam; - when driving at no more than 40 kilometres per hour and not using main beam.
