wards.
Using main beam
Active main beam
Main beam is operated with the left-hand
stalk switch. Main beam is the car's stron-
gest lighting and should be used when driv-
ing in the dark for better visibility, as long as
it does not dazzle other road users.
Active main beam is a function which uses a
camera sensor at the top edge of the wind-
screen to detect the headlamp beams from
oncoming traffic or the rear lights of vehicles
in front, and then switches from main beam
to dipped beam.
Deactivate by moving the stalk switch
backwards.
When main beam has been activated the
symbol illuminates in the driver display.

The function can start while driving in the dark
when the car's speed is approx. 20 km/h

camera sensor no longer detects any oncom-
ing car or car in front, main beam is switched
on again after about a second.

white glow in the driver display. When main
beam is activated, the symbol shines blue.
WARNING
Active main beam is an aid for using the
optimum beam pattern when conditions
are favourable.
If active main beam is deactivated while main
beam is on, the lighting is immediately reset to
dipped beam.
The driver always bears responsibility for
manually switching between main and
dipped beam when traffic situations or
weather conditions so require.
Active main beam does not need to be reacti-
vated every time the car is started.
Limitations for active main beam
The camera sensor on which the function is
based has limitations.
