Understanding the Vehicle
• 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
2
and insert the check mark in the box
to turn on the function.
• 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
34
vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other
obstructions on the windshield or
camera lens will cause the system to
function improperly.
High Beam with "Glare Free"
Function
The "Glare Free" system associated
with "Full-LED" headlamps assists the
driver during travelling on an off-city
road with not sufficient environmental
illumination allowing the high beam
use also with other traffic participants
without glaring disturbs.
Moving the full beam light source the
"Glare Free" function will create a
shadow in correspondence of other
vehicles present in the field of view of
the camera.
The figure represents an example
of the car that is travelling in the
following scenarios:
1 two vehicles ahead in the same
direction;
2 another vehicle that is overtak-
ing;
3 another vehicle proceeding in
the opposite direction.
The system is able to detect and react
to an oncoming vehicle starting from
a distance of about 400 m (400 yd), in
a couple of seconds. Instead, in case of
the preceding vehicles, the system is
able to detect and react in few seconds
starting from a distance of about 100
m (100 yd).
Activation Mode
The digital camera is the same used
for the automatic high beam, and like
automatic high beam also for "Glare
Free" function it needs to be activated
by MIA "Settings" menu of "Vehicle"
page, insert the check mark on the box
