modify the light shape produced by
the dipped beam and by the full beam
as well, to make the driver visibility as
much comfortable as possible in every
condition without glaring other traffic
participants.
System Limitations
There are some cases in which the
SmartBeam™ system could not properly
work temporarily causing glaring for
other vehicles especially with "Auto
Dim High Beams" function activated on
MIA "Settings" page (see "Functions
of Settings Menu on MIA" in section
"Dashboard Instruments and Controls").
These cases could be related to:
• Vehicles headlight and/or rear light
(one or both of them) not visible in the
field of view of the camera.
• Heavy rainy weather.
• Heavy foggy weather.
• Snowing weather.
• Windshield dirt or impurities in camera
lens zone.
• Camera lens obstruction or logging.
In all these cases, it will be driver's
responsibility to avoid this glaring
by acting manually on the system,
switching off the high beam by means of
steering wheel multifunction lever.
Adaptive "Full-LED" Headlight
( )
The Adaptive Front-lighting System
actively adjusts the lights depth. The
shape of the light beam according to the
driving conditions combines excellent
visibility of the road with minimum glare
for the vehicles travelling in the opposite
direction.
"Full-LED" Technology
This technology allows having
headlights with a simpler construction
and a more compact size.
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 functions positively affect
some vehicle management economy
aspects by eliminating/reducing the fuel
consumption.
The picture shows the increased
brightness of the low beam of standard
halogen headlights (A) compared to
those Full-LED (B) in the "motorway
beam" mode.
Understanding the Vehicle
AFS Functions
These headlights combines the "Full-
LED" technology to the AFS (Advanced
Frontlighting System) adaptive
functions.
The system is able to process signals of
onboard systems and subsequently start
up four strategic steps in the following
situations:
• "motorway beam" that improves low
beam performance exceeding 110 km/h
(68 mph);
• "base beam" from 50 km/h (31 mph) to
110 km/h (68 mph);
• "town beam" that increases beam
spread form 0 km/h to 50 km/h (31
mph);
• "adverse weather beam" that reduces
glare on wet roads;
A fifth strategic step is the "tourist
beam" that can be manually activated
for example in countries with circulation
on the opposite side; in this case,
