Automatic High Beam ( )
The Automatic High Beam headlight
control system provides increased
forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of the forward-facing
digital camera located behind the
rear-view mirror, which is the same
one used for example by the Lane
Keeping Assist - LKA system on vehicles
with ADAS systems.

This camera detects the environmental
luminosity, the headlamps of
oncoming vehicles and the tail
lamps of proceeding vehicles in
the front area. In these cases, the
system automatically switches from
high beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
Furthermore, the digital camera is
able to detect the urban areas and the
inhabited centers and to turn off the
high beams when driving near of one
of them.
The properly working for this system
(if all the other conditions are met) is
ensured between 21.7 MPH (35 km/h)
and 155 MPH (250 km/h).

NOTE:
• The function is enabled only if the
brightness sensor detects the right
lighting conditions and them switch
to low beam on.
• Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of vehicles in
the field of view will cause headlights
to remain on longer (closer to the
vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other
obstructions on the windshield or
camera lens will cause the system to
function improperly.
