High-beam Assistant*

The concept

This system automatically switches the high
beams on and off. A sensor on the front side of
the inside rearview mirror controls the process.
The assistant makes sure that the high beams
are switched on whenever traffic conditions
permit. This relieves you of the burden of con-

stantly switching back and forth and simulta-
neously provides you with the best possible vis-
ibility. Naturally, you can intervene at any time to
switch the high beams on and off as usual.

Activating system

1.

Turn the light switch to position

, refer to

.

2.

With the low beams switched on, briefly
press the turn signal lever in the high-beam
direction.

The indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the High-beam
Assistant is activated. The system

automatically switches between high beams
and low beams, reacting to oncoming traffic,
vehicles ahead of you, and sufficiently lit areas,
e.g., in built-up zones.

Manually switching between high
beams and low beams

If you wish or the situation requires, you can
intervene at any time.

>

If the High-beam Assistant has switched on
the high beams, but you wish to use the low
beams, just switch on the low beams with
the turn signal lever. This deactivates the
High-beam Assistant.
In order to reactivate the system, briefly
press the turn signal lever in the high-beam
direction.

>

If the High-beam Assistant has switched on
the low beams, but you wish to use the high
beams, simply switch on the high beams as
usual. This deactivates the system and it is
up to you to switch back to low beams.
In order to reactivate the system, briefly
