I '~A WARNING ~ 
~ . 
Do not le t  the  extra  convenience afforded  by 
main  b

ass is t  tempt  you Into taking  any risks  when 
driving . The  system  is not  a substitute 
for the

• Always  check the lights  yourself  and ad
just them to the prevailing  conditions for 
lights, vision and road  traffic . 
• The main  beam  assist or automatic  main 
beam  assist  may not 
be able to detect all 
driving  situations  correctly and may  not work 
properly  in certain  situations. 
A WARNING (Continued) 
• If the camera's  field of view is dirty, cov
ered or damaged,  the function of the  main 
beam  assist  and automatic  main beam  assist 
may 
be impaired.  This also applies if changes 
are  made 
to the vehicle's  lighting system, for 
example if additional  headlights  are fitted. 
(Dt 
Please  observe  the following points in order to 
avoid  impairing  the proper  function of the sys
tem: 
• Regularly  clean the camera's  field of view, 
and  keep  it free  from  snow  and ice. 
• Do not cover  the camera's  field of view. 
• Check the area of the windscreen  that is in 
the  camera's  field 
of view for damage.
