WARNING
The convenience features of the main
beam assist should not encourage the tak-
ing of risks. The system is not a replace-
ment for driver concentration.
You are always in control of the main
●
beam and adapting it to the light, visibility
and traffic conditions.
It is possible that the main beam head-
●
light control does not recognise all driving
situations and is limited under certain cir-
cumstances.
Operation
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 vehicle lighting system, for example,
if additional headlights are installed.
CAUTION
To avoid affecting the operation of the sys-
tem, take the following points into consid-
eration:
Clean the field of vision of the camera
●
regularly and make sure it is free of snow
and ice.
Do not cover the field of vision of the
●
camera.
Check that the windscreen is not dam-
●
aged in the area of the field of vision of the
camera.
Note
The headlight flasher can be turned on
●
and off manually at any time with the turn
›››
signal and main beam lever page
If there are objects that radiate light in
●
the camera's area of influence, e.g. a port-
able navigation system, this may affect the
operation of the main beam assist system.
