High-beam assistance cannot replace the driv‐
er's own judgement as to when to use the high-
beam headlights. Therefore activate the dipped
headlights manually if the situation requires it.
In the following situations, the system will not op‐
erate or its operation will be impaired and your
intervention may be required:
▷ In extremely unfavourable weather conditions
such as fog or heavy precipitation.
▷ When detecting poorly-lit road users such as
pedestrians, cyclists or horseback riders or
carts, and when trains or ships are close to
the road, or when animals are crossing the
road.
▷ On narrow bends, on steep hilltops or in de‐
pressions, when there is crossing traffic or if
the view of oncoming vehicles on a motorway
is obstructed.
▷ In poorly-lit towns or where there are high re‐
flective signs.
▷ When the windscreen in front of the rear-view
mirror is covered with condensation, dirt,
stickers, labels, etc.
