High-beam assistance
Principle

headlights are not switched on by the sys-
tem in the low speed range.
The system responds to light from oncom-
ing traffic and traffic driving ahead of you,
and to ambient lighting, for example in
built-up areas.
The high-beam headlights can be switched
on and off manually at any time.

ment: ,

cluster is illuminated when the low-
beam headlights are switched on.
