Adaptive Highbeam Assist*
You can use this function to set the head-
lamps to change between dipped-beam and
main-beam automatically. The system recog-
nises vehicles with their lights on, either
approaching from the opposite direction or
travelling in front of your vehicle, and conse-
quently switches the headlamps from main
beam to dipped beam.
The system automatically adapts the dipped-
24
.
beam headlamp range depending on the dis-
tance to the other vehicle. When the system
no longer detects any other vehicles, it acti-
vates the main-beam headlamps again.
The optical sensor for the system is behind
the windscreen in the overhead control panel
area.
