Automatic main beam
headlights
Depending on the vehicle, this system
switches the main beam headlights on
and off automatically. It uses a camera
located behind the interior rear-view
mirror to detect vehicles that are being
followed and those coming in the oppo-
site direction.
The system may encounter difficul-
ties under certain conditions, inclu-
ding:
– extreme weather conditions (rain,
snow, fog, etc.);
– obstruction in front of the wind-
screen or camera;
– when a following or oncoming ve-
hicle has weak or hidden lighting;
– incorrect settings for the front
headlights;
– reflective systems;
– ...
The main beam headlights come on au-
tomatically if:
– exterior light is weak;
– no other vehicles or lighting are de-
tected;
– the vehicle speed is above approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h).
If any of the above conditions are not
fulfilled, the system switches to dipped
beam headlights.
Note: make sure the windscreen is not
obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensa-
tion etc.).
