ognise 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 Plus may fail to recognise other road
users that have lights, or may recognise
them too late.
In this, or in similar situations, the automatic
main beam will not be deactivated or will be
activated despite the presence of other road
users.
#
Always observe the traffic carefully and
switch off the main beam in good time.

account road, weather or traffic conditions.
Detection may be restricted if:
R
Visibility is impaired, for example in fog,
heavy rain or snow.
R
There is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
are obscured.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus is only an aid.
You are responsible for adjusting the vehicle's
lighting to the prevailing light, visibility and traf‐
fic conditions.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus switches auto‐
matically between:
R
Dipped beam
R
