Dynamic Light Assist (Dynamic

Light Assist)

The high beam assistant automatically avoids

dazzling oncoming traffic and vehicles travelling

in the same direction. In addition, the high beam

assistant detects which areas are illuminated

and switches the high beam off, e.g. when

driving through towns.

System limitations

In the following cases, the main beam must be

switched off manually because the main beam

assistant will not switch off the main beam in

time or not at all:

The dynamic high beam assistant illuminates

the road and its edges to the maximum. At the

same time, it prevents glare from vehicles in the

same direction and from oncoming traffic. With

the aid of a camera, the system detects other

road users and their distance to the vehicle and

covers a certain area of the headlamps. If it is

no longer possible to avoid dazzling other road

users, the main beam is automatically switched

off.

– On insufficiently illuminated roads with

highly reflective signs.

– For road users with insufficient lighting, e.g.

pedestrians or cyclists.

– In sharp bends, when oncoming traffic is

partially obscured, on steep ascents or

descents.

Activating and deactivating the dynamic high

beam assistant in the infotainment system

– Switch on the ignition.

– On roads with oncoming traffic and a central

crash barrier if the driver has a clear view

over the barrier, e.g. the driver of a lorry.
