"Full-LED" Technology
This technology creates headlights
with a simpler construction and a
more compact size compared to those
equipped with traditional or Xenon
light bulbs.
Other advantages are:
• a clearer light beam, with a cool
white tone that allows a better
perception of the contrasts thus
making the night vision more
efficient and less tiring;
• a longer duration equivalent at least
to that of the vehicle;
• a reduced current consumption.
These features positively affect some
vehicle management economy aspects
by eliminating/reducing the light
bulb replacements and help limit fuel
consumption.
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 proceding 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 function
(if all the other conditions are met) is
ensured between 21.7 MPH (35 km/h)
and 155 MPH (250 km/h).
Activation Mode
To activate Automatic High Beam
function:
• Shift the multifunction lever onward
.
• Put the light switch in "AUTO"
position.
• Touch the "Vehicle" soft-key on the
main category bar of the MIA display
and open the "Settings" menu.
• Choose the "Auto Dim High Beams"
function in the "Lights" submenu
and insert the check mark in the box
to turn on the function.
Understanding the Vehicle
• To turn off the function delete the
check mark in the box.
After these steps, the green indicator
on the upper right side of the TFT
display comes on.
NOTE:
• The function is enabled only if the
brightness sensor detects the right
lighting conditions and then 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.

beam system, the related amber
