Malfunctions
The following conditions may prevent the
main beam headlight control from turning off
Lights and visibility
the headlights in time or from turning off al-
together:
●
In poorly lit towns with highly reflective
signs.
●
Other insufficiently lit road users (such as
pedestrians or cyclists).
●
On tight bends and steep slopes (bumps)
and when oncoming vehicles are partially ob-
scured.
●
When the drivers of other oncoming vehi-
cles (such as a truck) can see over a guard
rail in the centre of the road.
●
If the camera is damaged or the power sup-
ply is cut off.
In fog, snow and heavy rain.
●
●
With dust and sand turbulence.
●
With loose gravel in the field of vision of
the camera.
When the field of vision of the camera is
●
misted up, dirty or covered by stickers, snow,
ice, etc.
WARNING
The convenience features of the main beam
assist should not encourage the taking of
risks. The system is not a replacement for
driver concentration.
●
You are always in control of the main beam
and adapting it to the light, visibility and traf-
fic conditions.
It is possible that the main beam headlight
●
control does not recognise all driving situa-
tions and is limited under certain circumstan-
ces.
When the field of vision of the camera is
●
dirty, covered or damaged, operation of the
main beam control may be affected. This also
applies when changes are made to the vehi-
cle lighting system, for example, if additional
headlights are installed.
CAUTION
To avoid affecting the operation of the sys-
tem, take the following points into considera-
tion:
Clean the field of vision of the camera regu-
●
larly and make sure it is free of snow and ice.
●
Do not cover the field of vision of the cam-
era.
●
Check that the windscreen is not damaged
in the area of the field of vision of the camera.
Note
Main beam and headlight flasher can be
turned on and off manually at any time with
the turn signal and main beam lever
