Automatic High Beam
Assistant
Principle
The Automatic High Beam Assistant detects
other road users early on and automatically
switches the high beams on or off depending
on the traffic situation.
General information
The Automatic High Beam Assistant ensures
that the high beams are switched on, when-
ever the traffic situation allows. In the low
speed range, the high beams are not switched
on by the system.
The system responds to light from oncoming
traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to
ambient lighting, for instance in towns and cit-
ies.
The high beams can be switched on and off
manually at any time.
