The advanced high beam control(Dynamic Light Assist) function lights up the road and its peripheral areas to the
maximum extent. At the same time, it avoids dazzling traffic ahead or oncoming traffic. The system uses a camera to
detect other self-illuminating road users and their distance from your vehicle and specifically switches off areas in
the light distribution. If it is no longer possible to prevent another road user from being dazzled, the high beam is
completely switched off. Dynamic Light Assist also generally detects well-lit areas such as towns and deactivates the
high beam headlights when driving through these areas.
The high beam headlights switch on and off automatically within the limits of the system, depending on the
environmental and traffic conditions and the vehicle 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 the ignition on.
2. Switch on the automatic headlights
(→ Low beam headlight).

3. Tap the lever forwards out of the basic position→ fig. 1
.
When advanced high beam control(Dynamic Light Assist) is activated, the white indicator light comes on in the
instrument cluster display. If advanced high beam control (Dynamic Light Assist) is switched on, the blue indicator
light for the high beam headlights comes on in the instrument cluster.
Switching off Dynamic Light Assist
1. Switch off the automatic headlights
Or: if Dynamic Light Assist is switched on and active, pull the lever backwards→ fig. 1
Or: if Dynamic Light Assist is switched on and is not active, press the lever forwards→ fig. 1
(→ Low beam headlight).

. The manual
high beam headlights are now switched on. To switch off the manual high beam if necessary, pull the lever
backwards.
System limitations
The high beams must be switched off manually in the following situations, because Dynamic Light Assist may not
switch them off at the right time or at all:
—In poorly lit towns which cannot be recognized as a town by the system.
—On poorly lit roads with strongly reflective signs.
—If there are others on the road who have inadequate lighting, such as pedestrians or cyclists.
—If there is cross traffic at perpendicular intersections.
—On tight curves where the view of traffic is partially obstructed, on steep rises, or in dips.
—When there are oncoming vehicles on roads with a center barrier and the drivers in the oncoming vehicle can
clearly see above the barrier, for example truck drivers.
—In fog, snow, and heavy rain.
—When there are dust and sand in the air.
—If the windshield is damaged in the camera's field of vision.
—If the camera visual field is fogged over, dirty, or covered by a sticker, snow, or ice.
—If the camera switches off automatically due to a high ambient temperature or exposure to direct sunlight for a
prolonged period. Dynamic Light Assist will be available once the camera is available again.
