Automatic main beam
headlights
Depending on the vehicle, this system
switches the main beam headlights on
and off automatically. The function uses
a camera located behind the interior
rear-view mirror to detect vehicles that
are following and coming in the oppo-
site direction.
The main beam headlights come on au-
tomatically if:
– exterior light is weak;
– no other vehicles or lighting are de-
tected;
– the vehicle speed is above approxi-
mately 30 mph (45 km/h).
If any of the above conditions are not
fulfilled, the system switches to dipped
beam headlights.
Using the portable naviga-
tion system at night in the
windscreen area below the
camera may disturb the op-
eration of the "automatic main beam
headlights" system (risk of reflection
on the windscreen).

hicle has weak or hidden lighting;
