Understanding the Vehicle
Automatic High Beam ( )
The Automatic High Beam headlight
control system provides increased
forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of the forward-facing
digital camera located behind the
rear-view mirror, which is the same
one used for example by the Lane
Keeping Assist - LKA system on vehicles
with ADAS systems.
This camera detects the environmental
luminosity, the headlamps of
oncoming vehicles and the tail lamps
of proceeding vehicles in the front
area.
In these cases system automatically
switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is
out of view.
Furthermore, the digital camera is
able to detect the urban areas and the
inhabited centers and to turn off the
high beams when driving near of one
of them.
The properly working for this system
(if all the other conditions are met) is
ensured between 35 km/h (21.7 mph)
and 250 km/h (155 mph).
Activation Mode
To activate Automatic High Beam
function:
• Shift the multifunction lever onward
.
• Put the light switch in “AUTO”
position.
• Touch the "Vehicle" soft-key on the
main category bar of the MIA display
and open the "Settings" menu.
• Choose the "Auto Dim High Beams"
function in the "Lights" submenu
and insert the check mark in the box
to turn on the function.
• To turn off the function delete the
check mark in the box.
After these steps, the green indicator
on the upper right side of the TFT
display comes on.
NOTE:
• The function is enabled only if the
brightness sensor detects the right
lighting conditions and then switch
to low beam on.
• Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of vehicles in
the field of view will cause headlights
to remain on longer (closer to the
vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other
obstructions on the windshield or
camera lens will cause the system to
function improperly.
High Beam with “Glare Free”
Function (for “Full-LED”
headlight with AFS)
The "Glare Free" function associated
with "Full-LED" headlamps assists the
driver during traveling on an off-city
road with not sufficient environmental
illumination allowing the high beam
use also with other traffic participants
without glaring disturbance.
The no glaring effect is obtained
through matrixes of LED that are
dynamically switched on and off in
order to create a shadow zone in
correspondence of each other traffic
participants lights (motor vehicles and
bicycles, as well), according to the
information about other vehicles’
lights coming from the forward-
facing digital camera located on
the windshield, behind the internal
rear-view mirror.
