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.
