In addition, the lights automatically switch from full
high beam to low beam as soon as the camera has
detected two or more street lamps.

WARNING
Lack of Attention
Despite the high beam assistant, responsibility for
manually adjusting the high beam to the light,
visibility and traffic conditions when driving remains
with the driver. The system does not replace the
driver's attentiveness. Manual intervention may be
required in the following situations:
– In unfavorable weather conditions, such as rain,
fog, snow, ice, heavy spray.
– On streets where oncoming traffic is party
hidden, e.g., freeways.
– When encountering poorly lit road users, e.g.
cyclists.
– On narrow bends, steep crests or hollows.
– In poorly lit areas.
– When encountering strong reflectors, e.g. road
signs.
– If the windshield is obscured by mist, dirt, ice or
stickers in the area of the camera.
e
Particular attentiveness is required while driving.
e
Always pay attention to the traffic conditions and
the vehicle surroundings.
e
If necessary, manually adjust the high beam to
the light, visibility and traffic conditions.
Information
e
To avoid impairing the detection performance of
the camera:
Do not cover the camera area on the interior
mirror (see Fig. 90) with objects (e.g. stickers).
e
Always keep the camera free of dirt, ice and snow
so that it is always fully functional.
