Adaptive Highbeam Assist G
Risk of accident
Adaptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid
designed to assist driving. The drive ris
responsible for adjusting the vehicle's lighting
to the prevailing light, visio nand traffic con-
ditions. The system may be impaired or deactivated:
R if there is poor visibility, e.g .due to snow,
rain, fog or spray
R if the area of the windscree naround the
optical sensor is dirty, misted up or covered
up, e.g. by a sticker
The system may not recognise the following
road users:
R road users that have no lighting, e.g. pedes-
trians
R road users that have poor lighting, e.g.
cyclists
R road users whose lighting is not clearly visi-
ble, e.g. road users behind a crash barrier
R on rare occasions: road users that have
lights that may be recognised too late or not
at all
The automatic main-bea mheadlamps will not
be deactivated, or they may be activated
despite road users travelling in fron tofor
approaching the vehicle.
Thus, you could cause an acciden tand injure
yoursel fand others. Alway sobserve traffic
conditions and, if necessary, dip the lights
manually.
You can use this function to set the head-
lamps to change between dipped beam and
main beam automatically. The system recog-
nises vehicles with their lights on, either
approaching from the opposite direction or
travelling in fron tofyour vehicle, and conse-
quently switches the headlamps from main
beam to dipped beam.
The system automatically adapts the dipped-
beam headlamp range depending on the dis-
tance to the other vehicle. Once the system
no longer detects any other vehicles, it reac-
tivates the main-beam headlamps.
The system's optical sensor is located behind
the windscreen near the overhead control
panel. 100
