WARNING Risk of accident despite
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist does not recognize
th efo llowing road users:
R Road users without lights, e.g. pedes‐
trians
R Road users with poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R Road users whose lighting is obstructed,
e.g. bya bar rier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist may failto recognize other road users
with their own lighting, or may recognize
th em too late.
In these or similar situations, the automatic
high beam is not deactivated or is activated
despite the presence of other road users. #
Always obser vethe tra ffic carefully and

WARNING Risk of inju ryby laser beam
from motion de tector
The motion de tector transmits invisible radia‐
tion from LEDs (light-emitting diodes).
These LEDs are classified under the 1M laser
class and can cause retina dama geinthefo l‐

Never look directly into the laser beam. The motion de
tector is loca ted in the cargo com‐
partment behind the partition, in the middle of

Position of motion de tector
If th eve hicle is equipped with a motion de tector,
th e cargo compartment lighting is also activated
via the motion de tector.
If th e motion de tector de tects mo vement in the
cargo compa rtment while theve hicle is station‐
