On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist may failto recognise other road users
with their own lighting, or may recognise them
to o late.
In these, or in similar situations, the automatic
high beam will not be deactivated or will be activated despite
the presence of other road
users. #
Always obser vethero ad and tra1c con-

beam in good time. Ad
aptive Highbeam Assist cann ottake into
account road, weather or tra1c conditions.
De tection may be restric ted in thefo llowing
cases:
R In poor visibility, e.g. fog, heavy rain or snow
R Ifth ere is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
are obscured
Ad aptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You are
re sponsible for adjusting theve hicle's lighting to
