Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus
General notes
With Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, you can
automatically switch between low-beam, partial
high-beam and high-beam headlamps.
Partial high-beam is a form of illumination
whereby the high-beam is directed past other
road users. Other road users are kept out of the
high-beam. This prevents glare. When there is a
vehicle in front, for example, the high-beam
headlamps illuminate the areas to its right and
left, and the vehicle in front is illuminated by the
low-beam headlamps.
The system automatically adapts the low-beam
headlamp range depending on the distance to
the other vehicle. Once the system no longer
detects any other vehicles, it reactivates the
high-beam headlamps.
If the high-beam or partial high-beam are caus-
ing too much reflection from traffic signs, the
lights are automatically dimmed and glare for
the driver caused by the reflections is thus avoi-
ded.
The system's optical sensor is located behind
the windshield near the overhead control panel.
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus does not rec-
ognize road users:
R
who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians
R
who have poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R
whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a barrier
In very rare cases, Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Plus may not recognize road users who do
have lights, or may recognize them too late. In
this or similar situations, the automatic high-
beam headlamps will not be deactivated or
will be activated regardless. There is a risk of
an accident.
Always carefully observe the traffic conditions
and switch off the high-beam headlamps in
good time.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus cannot take into
account road, weather or traffic conditions.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus is only an aid.
You are responsible for adjusting the vehicle's
lighting to the prevailing light, visibility and traf-
fic conditions.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can be
restricted if there is:
R
poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
R
dirt on the sensors or the sensors are
obscured
