LIGHTING

* Option/accessory. 153
Activate active main beam
Active main beam is activated and deactivated
by turning the left-hand stalk switch to posi-
tion
. The rotating ring then returns to
position . When active main beam is
activated, the symbol illuminates with a
white glow in the driver display. When main
beam is activated, the symbol shines blue.
If active main beam is deactivated while main
beam is on, the lighting is immediately reset to
dipped beam.
Adaptive functionality
For cars with LED 3 headlamps
*
, active main
beam has adaptive functionality
4
. In this case,
unlike what happens during conventional dim-
ming, the light beam continues to illuminate
with main beam on both sides of oncoming
traffic or vehicles ahead – only the part of the
light beam that points directly to the vehicle is
dimmed.
Adaptive functionality: Dipped beam directly towards
oncoming vehicle, but continued main beam on both
sides of the vehicle.
The main beam is partly dimmed, i.e. if the
light beam shines with slightly more than
dipped beam, the symbol
in the driver
display shines blue.
Limitations for active main beam
The camera sensor on which the function is
based has limitations.
If this symbol is shown in the driver
display, together with the message
Active High Beam Temporarily
unavailable , then switching
between main and dipped beam must be per-
formed manually. The
symbol extin-
guishes when these message are shown.
The same applies if this symbol is
shown together with the message
Windscreen sensor Sensor
blocked, see Owner's manual .
Active main beam may be temporarily unavail-
able e.g. in situations with dense fog or heavy
rain. When active main beam becomes availa-
ble again, or the windscreen sensors are no
longer blocked, the message goes out and the
symbol illuminates.
WARNING
Active main beam 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.
