Safety information
The high-beam Assistant cannot serve as a sub‐
stitute for the driver's personal judgment of when
to use the high beams. In situation that require
this, therefore switch off manually.
The system is not fully functional in the following
situations, and driver intervention may be neces‐
sary:
▷ In very unfavorable weather conditions, such
as fog or heavy precipitation.
The label is in the headlight and is visible from
the outside.
▷ When detecting poorly-lit road users such as
pedestrians, cyclists, horseback riders and
wagons; when driving close to train or ship
traffic; and at animal crossings.
Instrument lighting
▷ In tight curves, on hilltops or in depressions,
in crossing traffic or half-obscured oncoming
traffic on highways.
Functional requirement
The parking lights or low beams must be
switched on to adjust the brightness.
▷ In poorly-lit towns and cities and in the pres‐
ence of highly reflective signs.
▷ When the windshield in front of the interior
mirror is fogged over, dirty or covered with
stickers, etc.
Adjusting
Adjust the brightness with the
thumbwheel.
Laser high beams
Concept
When the high beams are switched-on, starting
with a speed of approx. 44 mph/70 km/h, the la‐
ser high beams in the headlight are automatically
switched on in addition to the LED high beams.
Interior lights
General information
Depending on the equipment, the interior lights,
footwell lights, entry lights, and courtesy lights
are controlled automatically.
The range of the high beams is increased and
ensures an even better illumination of the road.
General information
Depending on the country variant, further infor‐
mation can be obtained from the laser label on
the headlight.
The thumbwheel for the instrument lighting con‐
trols brightness of some of these features.
