Adaptive Highbeam Assist - Mercedes-Benz Series 218 Coupe Introduction Into Service Manual

Adaptive Highbeam Assist

The adaptive high beams assistant with (code 608) is
available as special equipment in combination with
full-LED headlamps with Intelligent Light System.
The headlamp range of the driving lights is adjusted to
the distance of the nearest vehicle in front or nearest
oncoming road user by actuating various actuators in
the front lamp units. If no road users are detected, the
adaptive high beams assistant automatically activates
the high beams.
The multifunction camera on the windshield ensures
that the headlamp range and the light cone are
controlled so as to provide optimum illumination of
the road according to the traffic situation (optical
headlamp range adjustment). The transitions between
the low beams and high beams are smoothly over-
lapped with no sudden light changes.
The adaptive high beams assistant function is acti-
vated via the control menu level on the instrument
cluster. When the exterior lights switch is in position
"A", the multifunction camera has detected darkness
and the vehicle speed is > 40 km/h, the adaptive high
beams assistant can be switched on by pressing the
combination switch to position "High beams".
