232 Light and sight
ULTRA RANGE Highbeam increases the bright-
ness of the cone of light to the legally permitted
maximum.
Partial high beam does not include other road
users in the high beam area. It does not dazzle
them but enables full high beam illumination for
the driver apart from the excluded vehicles.
At speeds below 25 km/h or when there is suffi-
cient street lighting:
The partial high beam and the high beam will
R
be switched off automatically.
At speeds greater than 30 km/h:
If no other road users are detected, the high
R
beam will switch on automatically.
If other road users are detected, the partial
R
high beam will switch on automatically.
At speeds above 40 km/h:
If no other road users are detected on a
R
straight road, ULTRA RANGE Highbeam will be
switched on automatically.
If other road users are detected, the partial
R
high beam will switch on automatically.
If highly reflective signs are detected, ULTRA
R
RANGE Highbeam will be switched off auto-
matically.

The system's optical sensor is located behind
