&
WARNING Risk of accident despit e Adap-
tive Highbeam Assist
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not react to:
= r

oad 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. 
Always observe the road and tr
aPc con-
ditions carefully and switch oM the high
beam in good time. Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into
account r

oad, weather or traPc conditions.
Detection may be restricted in the following
cases:
= 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 traPc conditions. Adaptive Highbeam Assist automatically switches
be

tween the following types of light:
= Low beam
= High beam
At speeds greater than 30 km/h:
= If no other road users are detected, the high
beam will switch on automatically. 136
Light and sight

The high beam will switch
oM aut omatically in the
following cases:
= At speeds below 25 km/h
= If other road users are detected
= If street lighting is suPcient
