NOTICE
Please observe the following points in order to avoid impairing the proper function of the system:
● Clean the camera’s field of view at regular intervals, and keep it clean and free from snow and ice.
● Do not cover the camera's field of view.
● Check the area of the windscreen which is in the camera’s field of view for damage at regular intervals.
Light-emitting objects in the camera's field of operation, e.g. mobile navigation devices, could impair the
functions of the main-beam control (Light Assist).
Advanced main-beam control
Advanced main-beam control 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. Advanced main-beam control normally also recognises illuminated areas such as towns and
deactivates main beam while driving through them.
Within the limits of the system, the main beam is automatically switched on or off depending on ambient and traffic
conditions and on the driving speed →
.
Advanced main-beam control can be activated and deactivated in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system
(→ Vehicle settings menu).
Switching on advanced main-beam control
1. Switch on the ignition and automatic lighting control
.
2. Push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards from its basic position.
The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster display lights up white when main-beam control is switched on.
When main-beam control is active, the indicator light is blue.
Switching off advanced main-beam control
1. Switch off automatic lighting control
.
Or: With the main-beam control switched on and active: Pull the turn signal and main beam lever towards the
rear.
Or: With the main-beam control switched on andnot active: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards
to switch on the manual main beam.
Pull back the turn signal and main beam lever to switch off the manual main beam if necessary.
Or: Switch off the ignition.
System limitations
The main beam has to be manually switched off under the following conditions, as it is not switched off by the main
beam 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.
