tive Highbeam Assist
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not react to:
Road users without lights, e.g. pedestrians
R
Road users with poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R
Road users whose lighting is obstructed,
R
e.g. by a barrier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist may fail to recognize other road users
with their own lighting, or may recognize them
too late.
In these, or in similar situations, the automatic
high beam will not be deactivated or will be
activated despite the presence of other road
users.
Always observe the road and tra c con-
#
ditions carefully and switch o the high
beam in good time.
The Adaptive Highbeam Assist automatically
switches between the following settings:

If your speed is greater than 19 mph (30 km/h)
and no other road users are detected, high beam
will automatically be switched on.
If your speed is greater than 16 mph (25 km/h),
the headlamp range will be controlled automati-
cally depending on the distance from other road
users.
High beam will automatically be deactivated in the
following cases:
Your speed is lower than 16 mph (25 km/h).
