A few things can confuse the sensors

The sensor looks at Infra red light, not visible light.

1) Sun low on the horizon. Even with blue skies the lights may turn on.

2) Some water repellent coatings out on the windscreen. Dont put them over the sensors.

3) Dirt over the sensors. Keep the area clean.

Same things affect Mercedes sensors.

Havent checked for it on the F10 yet, but on some older models dealers could set the sensitivity to a more sensitive position for areas of the world where the sensors get confused.
