Function of Adaptive Highbeam Assist
WARNING Risk of accident despite Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not recognise the following road users:
  • Road users without lights, e.g. pedestrians

  • Road users with poor lighting, e.g. cyclists

  • Road users whose lighting is obstructed, e.g. by a barrier

On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam Assist may fail to recognise other road users with their own lighting, or may recognise them too late.

In this, or in similar situations, the automatic main beam will not be deactivated or will be activated despite the presence of other road users.

Always observe the traffic carefully and switch off the main beam in good time.
System limitations

Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into account road, weather or traffic conditions.

Detection may be restricted if:
  • Visibility is impaired, for example in fog, heavy rain or snow.

  • There is dirt on the sensors or the sensors are obscured.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You are responsible for adjusting the vehicle's lighting to the prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist switches automatically between:
  • Dipped beam

  • Main beam

At speeds above 30 km/h:
  • If no other road users are detected, the main beam is automatically switched on.

The main beam switches off automatically:
  • At speeds below 25 km/h.

  • If other road users are detected.

  • If street lighting is sufficient.

At speeds above approx. 50 km/h:
  • The headlamp range of the dipped beam is regulated automatically based on the distance to other road users.

The system's optical sensor is located behind the windscreen near the overhead control panel.
