Assist may fail to recognize other road users with their own lighting, or may recognize 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 traPc con-
ditions carefully and switch oM the high
beam in good time.Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into
account road, weather or traPc conditions.
Detection may be restricted in the following
cases:

= if there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
are obscured
Adaptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You are
