The blue indicator lamp in the in-
strument cluster illuminates if the
high beam is switched on by the sys-
tem.
High-beam assistance is deactivated by
switching the high beams on and off man-
ually, see page 110.
To reactivate high-beam assistance, press
the button on the turn indicator lever.
System limits
High-beam assistance cannot replace the
driver's own judgement as to when to use
the high-beam headlights. Therefore acti-
vate the dipped headlights manually if the
situation requires it.
In the following situations, the system will
not operate or its operation will be impaired
and your intervention may be required:
– In extremely unfavourable weather con-
ditions such as fog or heavy precipita-
tion.
– When detecting poorly-lit road users
such as pedestrians, cyclists or horse-
back riders or carts, and when trains or
ships are close to the road, or when ani-
mals are crossing the road.
– On narrow bends, on steep hilltops or in
depressions, when there is crossing traf-
fic or if the view of oncoming vehicles
on a motorway is obstructed.
– In poorly-lit towns or where there are
high reflective signs.
– When the windscreen in front of the
rearview mirror is covered with conden-
sation, dirt, stickers, labels, etc.
