road users without lights, e.g. pedestrians
road users with poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
road users whose lighting is obstructed, e.g. by a barrier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam Assist 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.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into account road, weather or traffic conditions.
In poor visibility, e.g. fog, heavy rain or snow
If there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors are obscured
Adaptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You are responsible for adjusting the vehicle's lighting to the prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions.
Low beam
High beam
If no other road users are detected, the high beam will switch on automatically.
At speeds below 25 km/h
If other road users are detected
If street lighting is sufficient
The headlamp range of the low beam is regulated automatically based on the distance to other road users.
The system's optical sensor is located behind the windscreen near the overhead control panel.
