System limitations
In the following cases, the main beam head-
light must be switched off manually because
the main beam assist will not disconnect it on
time or disconnect it at all:
●
On roads with insufficient lighting with very
reflective signs
●
If road users are insufficiently lit up, e.g. pe-
destrians or cyclists.
●
On closed curves, when the traffic in the
opposite direction is partially hidden, on pro-
nounced slopes or inclinations.
●
On roads with traffic in the opposite direction
and with a central reservation barrier where
the driver can see over it e.g. lorry drivers.
●
In the event of fog, snow or heavy rain
●
In the event of dust or sand storms
●
If the windscreen is damaged in the camera's
field of vision.
●
If the camera's field of vision is misted up,
dirty or covered by a sticker, snow or ice.

If the camera is damaged or if the power
supply has been cut off.

WARNING
The convenience features of the main beam
assist should not encourage the taking of
risks. The system is not a replacement for
driver concentration.
●
You are always in control of the main beam
and adapting it to the light, visibility and traf-
fic conditions.
●
It is possible that the main beam headlight
control does not recognise all driving situa-
tions and is limited under certain circumstan-
ces.
●
When the field of vision of the camera is
dirty, covered or damaged, operation of the
main beam control may be affected. This also
applies when changes are made to the vehi-
cle lighting system, for example, if additional
headlights are installed.
NOTICE
To avoid affecting the operation of the sys-
tem, take the following points into considera-
tion:
●
Clean the field of vision of the camera reg-
ularly and make sure it is free of snow and ice.
●
Do not cover the field of vision of the cam-
era.
●
Check that the windscreen is not damaged
in the area of the field of vision of the cam-
era.
Note
● The headlight flasher can be turned on and
off manually at any time with the turn signal

and main beam lever
● If there are objects that radiate light in the
camera's area of influence, e.g. a portable
navigation system, this may affect the opera-
tion of the main beam assist system.
