as a substitute for your personal judgment of
lighting conditions.

fog or hazy weather. To avoid safety risks under
these conditions, you should always switch on
the lights manually.

Self-leveling headlights
The self-leveling headlights compensate for ac‐
celeration and braking operations in order not
to blind the oncoming traffic and to achieve
optimum illumination of the roadway.
High-beam Assistant
The concept
The high-beam Assistant detects other traffic
participants early on and automatically
switches the high beams on or off depending
on the traffic situation. The assistant ensures
that the high beams are switched on, whenever
the traffic situation allows. In the low speed
range, the high beams are not switched on by
the system.
General information
The system responds to light from oncoming
traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to
adequate illumination, for instance in towns
and cities.
The high beams can be switched on and off at
any time as usual.
