Lack of attention when
WARNING
driving with high beam
assist
Despite the high beam assist, responsibility for
manually adjusting the high beam to the light, visi-
bility and traffic conditions when driving, for exam-
ple, remains with the driver. The system is not a
substitute for careful attention on the part of the
driver. Manual intervention may be required in the
following situations:
– In unfavorable weather conditions, such as rain,
fog, snow, ice or heavy spray.
– On roads where oncoming traffic is party hidden,
such as on highways.
– Where there are poorly lit road users, such as
cyclists.
– On narrow curves, steep crests or hollows.
– In poorly lit areas.
– Where there are strong reflectors, such as road
signs.
– If the windshield is obscured by mist, dirt, ice or
stickers in the area of the camera.
e Drive with extreme care.
e Always check the traffic situation and the area
around the vehicle.
e If necessary, manually adjust the high beam ac-
cording to the light, visibility and traffic
conditions.
Information
To avoid impairing the detection performance:
e Do not cover the camera area on the interior
mirror with objects (e.g. stickers).
e The camera must always be kept free of dirt, ice
and snow.
