Important safety notes
WARNING
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not recognize
road users:
• who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians
• who have poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
• whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a barrier
In very rare cases, Adaptive Highbeam Assist may fail to recognize other road users that have lights, or may recognize them too late.
In this or similar situations, the automatic high-beam headlamps will not be deactivated or activated regardless. There is a risk of an accident.
Always carefully observe the traffic conditions and switch off the high-beam headlamps in good time.
You can use this function to set the headlamps to change between low beam and high beam automatically. The system recognizes vehicles with their lights on, either approaching from the opposite direction or traveling in front of your vehicle, and consequently switches the headlamps from high beam to low beam.
The system automatically adapts the lowbeam headlamp range depending on the distance to the other vehicle. Once the system no longer detects any other vehicles, it reactivates the high-beam headlamps.
The system's optical sensor is located behind the windshield near the overhead control panel.

If you are driving at speeds above
approximately 35 mph (55 km/h) and no
other road users have been detected:
the high-beam headlamps are switched on
automatically. The indicator lamp

the instrument cluster also lights up.
If you are driving at speeds below approximately 30 mph (45 km/h) or other road users have been detected or the roads are adequately lit:
The high-beam headlamps are switched off
automatically. The indicator lamp
