hazy weather. To avoid safety risks under these
conditions, you should always switch on the
lights manually.

turn signal is switched on and the steering an‐
gle is detected, there is automatic activation.

participants early on and automatically
switches the high beams on or off depending
on the traffic situation. The assistant ensures
that the high beams are switched on, whenever
the traffic situation allows. In the low speed
range, the high beams are not switched on by
the system.
General information The system responds to light from oncoming
traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to
adequate illumination, e.g., in towns and cities.
The driver can intervene at any time and switch
the high beams on and off as usual.
