Get Lights and vision -> Advanced main-beam control (Dynamic Light Assist) Guide for Volkswagen T-Roc SUV First Generation (2017-2025)

Switching off Light Assist

1. Switch off automatic lighting control

(→ Dipped beam).

if Light Assist is switched on and active, pull the lever back → Fig. 1 B .

if Light Assist is switched on and not active, tap the lever forward → Fig. 1 A . Manual main beam is now switched on. To

switch off the manual main beam again, pull back the lever B .

System limits

The main beam must be manually switched off under the following conditions, as it is not switched off by Light Assist in time or at all:

—In badly lit towns that the system cannot recognise as towns.

—In poorly lit streets where there are highly reflective signs.

—Other road users with insufficient lighting facilities, such as pedestrians, cyclists.

—In the case of crossing traffic at right-angled junctions.

—In tight bends, on steep hill crests or in dips in the road or when oncoming traffic is half-hidden.

—With oncoming traffic on streets with a central barrier where the driver can see clearly over the central barrier e.g. truck drivers.

—In fog, snow or heavy rain.

—In conditions where dust or sand has been blown up.

—Damage to the windscreen in the camera’s field of vision.

—If the camera window is covered by condensation, dirt, a sticker, snow or ice.

—If the camera is switched off automatically due to a high ambient temperature or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. When the

camera is available again, Lane Assist will also be available once more.

—If the camera is faulty or the power supply is interrupted.

WARNING

Light Assist may not be able to recognise all driving situations correctly and may not work properly in certain situations. Light Assist

supports the driver. The driver is responsible for the vehicle lighting being switched on correctly. Improperly switching on the main

beam can distract and dazzle other road users. This can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

● Always check the lighting yourself and adjust it to suit the light, visibility and traffic conditions.

● Switch off the main beam manually if it may cause dazzle to other road users.

WARNING

If the camera window is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of Light Assist may be impaired. This also applies if changes are

made to the vehicle’s lighting system, for example if additional headlights are fitted. This can cause accidents and serious or fatal

injuries.

● Clean the camera window at regular intervals, and keep it free from snow and ice.

● Do not cover the camera window.

● Check the area of the windscreen which is in the camera’s field of view for damage at regular intervals.

On the left-hand side of the steering column: turn signal and

main beam lever.

Advanced main-beam control (Dynamic Light Assist) provides maximum illumination for the road and the edges of the road. At the

same time, it prevents vehicles in front or oncoming vehicles from being dazzled. The system uses a camera to detect other self-

illuminated road users and their distance from your vehicle and deactivates areas within the light distribution in a targeted manner. If

the system can no longer prevent other road users from being dazzled, main beam is switched off completely. Dynamic Light Assist

normally also recognises illuminated areas such as towns and deactivates main beam while driving through them.

Within the limits of the system, main beam is automatically switched on or off depending on the surroundings and traffic conditions

and on the driving speed →

Dynamic Light Assist can be activated and deactivated in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu).

Switching on Dynamic Light Assist

1. Switch on the ignition.

2. Switch on automatic lighting control

(→ Dipped beam).

3. Tap the lever forward from the basic position → Fig. 1 A .

When Dynamic Light Assist is activated, the

indicator lamp lights up white in the instrument cluster display. When Dynamic Light

Assist is switched on, the

indicator lamp for main beam lights up blue in the instrument cluster.
