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.
Dynamic high beam (Canada only)
Light sources and other road users can be detected
by means of a camera A in the area of the interior
mirror. Depending on the position of other vehicles,
the speed and other environmental and traffic con-
ditions, the individual LED segments of the high
beam headlights are activated or deactivated. The
beam in the relevant area in front of the vehicle is
low, the rest remains high. This ensures that the en-
vironment is lit to best effect without dazzling other
road users.
Dynamic high beam is switched on or off between
20 mph (30 km/h) and 37 mph (60 km/h) accord-
ing to the navigation data. High beam is also
switched from full high beam illumination to low
beam when the camera detects street lighting.

WARNING
driving with High Beam
Assistant
Despite High Beam Assistant, the responsibility
during driving remains with the driver, such as for
manually adjusting the high beam according to the
light, visibility and traffic conditions. 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 bends, 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.
Encounter lights (Canada only)
b b No vehicle ahead.
b b Oncoming traffic with detected headlights.
The light distribution is briefly changed so that the
lane being driven on is illuminated brightly. This
draws the direction of vision onto the lane being
driven on. The driver is less dazzled by the oncoming
traffic.
Signage glare reduction (Canada only)
b b Dynamic high beam switched on.
The glare of reflective traffic signs and other signage
can – particularly when driving with high beams –
cause the driver to be dazzled.
The signage glare reduction briefly dims individual
LED segments of the vehicle's low or high beam
headlights in a targeted manner. The driver is
dazzled less due to reflecting traffic signs and other
signage.
