Deactivating
High-beam Assistant
The High-beam Assistant is deactivated when
manually switching the high beams on and off,
refer to page 73. To reactivate the high-beam
Assistant, press the button on the turn signal
lever.
Concept
The high-beam Assistant detects other traffic
participants early on and automatically
switches the high beams on or off depending
on the traffic situation. The assistant ensures
that the high beams are switched on, when‐
ever the traffic situation allows. In the low
speed range, the high beams are not switched
on by the system.
System limits
The high-beam Assistant cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver's personal judgment of
when to use the high beams. Therefore, man‐
ually switch off the high beams in situations
where required to avoid a safety risk.
General information
The system responds to light from oncoming
traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to
adequate illumination, e.g., in towns and cities.
The system is not fully functional in the follow‐
ing situations, and driver intervention may be
necessary:
The driver can intervene at any time and switch
the high beams on and off as usual.
