Lights and vision
Main beam assist
Applies to: vehicles with main beam assist
The main beam assist automatically switches
the main beam headlights on or off depending
on the surrounding light conditions.
A sensor (Located in the mounting for the interior
mirror) detects light sources from other road
users. The main beams are activated or deactiva­
ted automatically depending on the position of
vehicles on either side of the road, on the road
speed, and on other traffic and ambient condi­
tions.
On vehicles with matrix LED headlights, individu­
al segments of the main beam are activated or
deactivated. The relevant sector in front of the
vehicle is masked, while the surrounding areas
remain lit. The ambient surroundings are thus il­
luminated optimally without dazzling other road
users.
