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 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.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus 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 Plus is only an aid. You are responsible for ensuring correct vehicle lighting in accordance with the prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions.
Low beam
Partial high beam
High beam
Partial high beam uses high beam to shine past other road users rather than dazzling them. The low beam illumination area covers the vehicle in front.
Partial high beam and high beam will be automatically deactivated.
The indicator lamp on the instrument cluster will go out. The symbol for Highbeam Assist Plus will remain switched on.
If no other road users are detected, high beam will be switched on.
If other road users are detected, partial high beam will be switched on.
The indicator lamp on the instrument cluster will light up.
If no other road users are detected and the road is straight, high beam will be switched on.
If highly reflective signs are detected, high beam will automatically be switched off.
If other road users are detected, partial high beam will be switched on automatically.
The indicator lamp on the instrument cluster will light up.
The system's optical sensor is located behind the windscreen near the overhead control panel.
