WARNING Risk of accident despite
Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not recognize
the following road users:
R
Road users without lights, e.g. pedes‐
trians
R
Road users with poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R
Road users whose lighting is obstructed,
e.g. by a barrier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist may fail to recognize other road users
with their own lighting, or may recognize
them too late.
In these or similar situations, the automatic
high beam is not deactivated or is activated
despite the presence of other road users.
#
Always observe the traffic carefully and
switch off the high beam in good time.
The Adaptive Highbeam Assist automatically
switches between the following settings:
R
Low beam
R
High beam
The system detects that vehicle lights are
approaching in the opposite direction or driving
ahead of the vehicle.
At speeds greater than 19 mph (30 km/h), a
change is made to the following setting:
R
If no other road users are detected, the high
beam switches on automatically.
At speeds less than 16 mph (25 km/h) or if there
is sufficient road lighting, a change is made to
the following setting:
R
The high beam automatically switches off.
System limitations
Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take the road,
weather or traffic conditions into consideration.
The detection of obstacles can be restricted if:
R
Visibility is impaired, e.g. in fog, heavy rain or
snow
R
The sensors are dirty or covered
Adaptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You are
responsible for ensuring correct vehicle lighting
in accordance with the prevailing light, visibility
and traffic conditions.
The system's optical sensor is located behind the
windshield near the overhead control panel.
