High-beam Assistant
The concept
When the low beams are activated, this system automatically switches the high beams on and
off. The procedure is controlled by a camera on
the front of the interior rearview mirror. The as‐
sistant ensures that the high beams are acti‐
vated whenever the traffic situation allows. The
driver can intervene at any time and switch the
high beams on and off as usual. In the low
speed range, the high beams are not switched
on by the system.

when the low beams are activated.

switch into position
or .
2.Press button on the turn signal lever, arrow.

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 blue indicator lamp in the instru‐
ment cluster lights up when the system
switches on the high beams.

light glass does not need to be changed.
If despite driving with the lights switched on,
increasing humidity forms, e. g. water droplets
in the lamp, the manufacturer of your vehicle
recommends having it checked by a dealer’s
service center or another qualified service cen‐
ter or repair shop.
