& WARNING Risk of accident despite Adap-
tive Highbeam Assist Plus
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus 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 Plus may fail to recognise other road
users with their own lighting, or may recognise
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 traffic con-
#
ditions carefully and switch off the high
beam in good time.
