General information
System limits
The high-beam 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.
The high-beam Assistant cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver's personal judgment of
when to use the high beams. In situation that
require this, therefore switch off manually.
The system responds to light from oncoming
traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to
adequate illumination, for instance in towns
and cities.
The system is not fully functional in the follow‐
ing situations, and driver intervention may be
necessary:
▷
In very unfavorable weather conditions,
such as fog or heavy precipitation.
The high beams can be switched on and off at
any time as usual.
▷
When detecting poorly-lit road users such
as pedestrians, cyclists, horseback riders
and wagons; when driving close to train or
ship traffic; and at animal crossings.
Activating/deactivating

sions, in cross traffic or half-obscured on‐
coming traffic on highways.

tween low beams and high beams.
The blue indicator light in the instru‐
ment cluster lights up when the system
switches on the high beams.
Functional requirement

switching on the front fog lights.
The high-beam Assistant is deactivated when
manually switching the high beams on and off,
