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
windscreen near the overhead control panel.
