Active high beam*

The Active High Beam function detects the
headlamp beams of oncoming traffic or the
rear lights of vehicles in front, and switches
the lighting from main beam to dipped beam.
Xenon headlamps only dim the portion of the
light beam that points directly to the vehicle.
The lighting returns to main beam when the
incoming light has stopped.
Active high beam - AHB
Active high beam (Active High Beam - AHB) is
a function which uses a camera sensor at the
top edge of the windscreen to detect the
headlamp beams of oncoming traffic or the
rear lights of vehicles in front, and then
switches from main beam to dipped beam.
The function can also take streetlights into
account.
Car with halogen headlamps
The lighting returns to main beam about a
second after the camera sensor no longer
detects the headlamp beams from oncoming
traffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front.
Car with Xenon headlamps
Unlike what happens during conventional
dimming, the light beam continues with main
beam on both sides of oncoming traffic or
vehicles ahead - only the part of the light
beam that points directly to the vehicle is
dimmed.
Dipped beam directly toward oncoming vehicles,
but continued main beam on both sides of the
vehicle.
The lighting returns to full main beam about a
second after the camera sensor no longer
detects the headlamp beams from oncoming
traffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front.
Activating/deactivating
AHB can be activated when the headlamp
control's knob is in position
that the function has not been deactivated in
the menu system MY CAR), see MY CAR (p.
