WARNING 
Incorrect use of the main beam headlights can lead to accidents and serious injuries as the main 
beam headlights could distract and dazzle other road users. 
Main-beam control 
The main-beam control automatically dips the headlights when oncoming vehicles and/or vehicles 
driving in front are detected. Main-beam control also recognises illuminated areas such as towns 
and deactivates the main beam while driving through them. 
Within the limits of the system, main-beam control automatically switches main beam on at speeds 
of over approximately 60 km/h (37 mph), depending on ambient and traffic conditions, and switches 
it off again at speeds under approximately 30 km/h (18 mph)  
With some equipment levels, the main-beam control can be activated and deactivated in the 
Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays
