Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into

account road, weather or traffic conditions.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You

are responsible for adjusting the vehicle's

lighting to the prevailing light, visibility and

traffic 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

General notes

You can use this function to set the

headlamps to change between low beam and

high beam automatically. The system

recognizes vehicles with their lights on, either

approaching from the opposite direction or

traveling in front of your vehicle, and

consequently switches the headlamps from

high beam to low beam.

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.

The system's optical sensor is located behind

the windshield near the overhead control

panel.
