Automatic headlight control
The concept
The low beams are switched on and off auto‐
matically depending on the ambient bright‐
ness, e.g. in tunnels, in twilight or if there is
precipitation.
General information
A blue sky with the sun low on the horizon can
cause the lights to be switched on.
When emerging from a tunnel during the day,
the low beams are not switched off immedi‐
ately but instead only after approx. 2 minutes.
The low beams always stay on when the fog
lights are activated.
Activating
Position of switch:
The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
lights up when the low beams are switched on.
System limits
The automatic headlamp control cannot serve
as a substitute for your personal judgment of
lighting conditions.
