70 km/h and you switch on the rear foglamp.
Not active: if, following activation, you are
driving at speeds above 100 km/h or if you

Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not recognise
road users:
who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians
R
who have poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R
whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a barrier
R
In very rare cases, Adaptive Highbeam Assist
recognises road users too late or not at all. In
this, or in similar situations, the automatic
main-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 main-beam headlamps in
good time.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into
account road, weather or traffic conditions.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You
are responsible for adjusting the vehicle's
lighting to the prevailing light, visibility and
traffic conditions.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can
be restricted if there is:
poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
R
snow
dirt on the sensors or if the sensors are
R
obscured
