Adaptive Highbeam Assist function
&
WARNING Risk of accident despite Adap-
tive Highbeam Assist
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not react to:
R
Road users without lights, e.g. pedestrians
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 in similar situations, the automatic
high beam will not be deactivated or will be
activated despite the presence of other road
users.
#
Always observe the road and traffic con-
ditions 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), the
system will switch to the following setting:
R
If no other road users are detected, high beam
will switch on automatically.
At speeds lower than 16 mph (25 km/h) or if there
is sufficient street lighting, the system will switch
to the following setting:
R
High beam will automatically switch off.
System limits
Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take the road,
weather or traffic conditions into consideration.
The detection of obstacles may be restricted if:
R
visibility is poor, 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.
