Adaptive Highbeam Assist
▌Adaptive Highbeam Assist function
&
WARNING Risk of accident despite Adap-
tive Highbeam Assist
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not react to:
R
road users without lights, e.g. pedestrians
R
road users with poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R
road users whose lighting is obstructed,
e.g. by a barrier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist may fail to recognise other road users
with their own lighting, or may recognise them
too 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 observe the road and trac con-
ditions carefully and switch o the high
beam in good time.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into
account road, weather or trac conditions.
Detection may be restricted in the following
cases:
R
in poor visibility, e.g. fog, heavy rain or snow
R
if there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
are obscured
Adaptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You are
responsible for adjusting the vehicle's lighting to
