WARNING

Light Assist

The automatic driving lamp control (position ) only operates as a sup-

port and does not release the driver from his responsibility to check the

lights and, if necessary, to switch on the light depending on the prevailing

light conditions.

CAUTION

Poorer visibility is detected by a sensor mounted below the windscreen in the

holder of the inside mirror or in the control panel. Do not cover the sensor -

the system can be affected.

The system automatically switches the high beam on/off in accordance with

the existing traffic (other vehicles) and environmental conditions (e.g. driving

through a lit village).

FullLED headlights

The high beam on/off is controlled by a sensor or a camera » Fig. 64.



The system is activated.

The light switch is in the position .

The vehicle speed is over 60 km/h or for some countries more than 40

The windscreen is clean in the sensor area.

WARNING

If there is a system malfunction the headlights are automatically lowered to

the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming

traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Seek help from

a specialist garage.
