Manual operation
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the
camera sensor free from ice, snow, mist
and dirt.
Do not stick or attach anything to the
windscreen in front of the camera sensor
as this may reduce effectiveness or cause
one or more of the systems dependent on
the camera to stop working.
If the message
Active main beam
Temporary unavailable Switch manually
is
shown in the combined instrument panel's
information display then you have to switch
manually between main and dipped beam.
However, the knob for headlamp control can
still remain in position
. The same
applies if the message Windscreen sensors
blocked See manual
and the symbol
are shown. The symbol goes out when
these messages are shown.
AHB may be temporarily unavailable e.g. in
situations with dense fog or heavy rain. When
AHB becomes available again, or the wind-
screen sensors are no longer blocked, the
message extinguishes and the
symbol
illuminates.
WARNING
AHB is an aid for using the optimum beam
pattern when conditions are favourable.
The driver always bears responsibility for
manually switching between main and
dipped beam when traffic situations or
weather conditions so require.
IMPORTANT
Examples of when manual switching
between main and dipped beam may be
required:
•
In heavy rain or dense fog
•
In freezing rain
•
In snow flurries or slush
•
In moonlight
•
When driving in poorly lit built-up
areas
•
When the traffic ahead has weak light-
ing
•
If there are pedestrians on or beside
the road
•
If there are highly reflective objects
such as signs in the vicinity of the road
•
When the lighting from oncoming traf-
fic is obscured by e.g. a crash barrier
•
When there is traffic on connecting
roads
•
On the brow of a hill or in a hollow
•
In sharp bends.
