High-beam headlights
assistant*
Principle
This system switches the high-beam head-
lights on and off automatically. The process is
controlled by a sensor on the front of the inside
mirror. The assistant ensures that the high-
beam headlights are switched on whenever
permitted by the situation in which the car is
being driven. This relieves the load on you the
driver and optimises your view of the road. You
can of course intervene at any time and switch
the high-beam headlights on and off in the
usual way.
Activating the system
1.
Turn the light switch to position
3
, see
page
2.
With the low-beam headlights switched on,
briefly press the flashing turn indicator lever
towards high-beam headlights.
The indicator light in the instrument
cluster lights up when the high-beam
headlights assistant is active. The
lights are turned up and down automatically as
the system responds to traffic travelling in front
and in the oncoming direction, and also when
ambient lighting is sufficient, e.g. in built-up
areas.
Turning up and down manually
You can intervene at any time as required or if
required by the situation:
>
If the high-beam headlights assistant has
switched on the high-beam headlights but
you would prefer the low-beam headlights
to be switched on, simply use the flashing
turn indicator lever to turn the lights down.
This will deactivate the high-beam head-
lights assistant.
To reactivate the system, press the flashing
turn indicator again briefly towards high-
beam headlights.
>
If the high-beam headlights assistant has
switched on the low-beam headlights but
you would prefer the high-beam headlights
to be switched on, turn the lights up in the
usual way. This deactivates the system and
you will have to turn the lights down by
hand.
