following activation Adaptive Highbeam Assist
You can use this function to set the head-
lamp stoc hange between dipped beama nd
main beam automatically. The system recog-
nises vehicles with thei rlight son, either
approaching fro mthe opposite direction or
travelling in front of your 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. X
To activate: activate the Adaptive High-
beam Assist function using the on-board
computer (Y page 227).
X Turn the light switch to Ã.

cluster lights up if it is dark and the light
sensor activates the dipped-beamh ead-
lamps.
If you are driving at speeds above
45 km/h:
the headlamp range is set automatically
depending on the distanc ebetween the
vehicle and other road users.
If you are driving at speeds above
55 km/ha nd no other road users are rec-
ognised:
the main-beam headlamps are switched on
automatically. The Kindicator lamp in
the instrument cluster also lights up.
If you are driving at speeds below
45 km/ho rother road users are recog-
nised or the roads are adequately lit:
the main-beam headlamps are switched off
automatically. The Kindicator lamp in
the instrument cluster goes out. The _
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
stays on.
X To deactivate: move the combination
switch back to its normal position.

cluster goes out. G
