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 no

t 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 is available on
demand

( page 22). 148
Light and sight

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, high beam
will switch on automatically. 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
% The system's optical sensor is located behind
t
he windscreen near the overhead control
panel.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus cannot take into

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 Plus is only an aid. You
are responsible for adjusting the vehicle's lighting
to the prevailing light, visibility and traPc condi-
tions. Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus automatically
switc

hes between the following types of light:
= Low beam
= Partial high beam
= High beam
= ULTRA RANGE Highbeam ULTRA RANGE Highbeam increases the bright-
ness of t

he cone of light to the legally permitted
maximum.
Partial high beam does not include other road
users in the high beam area. It does not dazzle
them but enables full high-beam illumination for
the driver apart from the excluded vehicles. Highly
reOective signs are also illuminated with reduced
brightness.
At speeds below 25 km/h or when there is suP-
cient street lighting:
= Partial high beam and high beam will be
switched oM automatically.
At speeds greater than 30 km/h: = If no other road users are detected, high beam
will switch on automatically.
= If other road users are detected, partial high
beam will switch on automatically.
at speeds below 40 km/h: = The ULTRA RANGE Highbeam will switch oM
automatically. 150
Light and sight

At speeds above 50 km/h:
= If no o
ther road users are detected, the road is
straight and it is not raining heavily, the ULTRA
RANGE Highbeam will be switched on auto-
matically.
= If other road users are detected, the ULTRA
RANGE Highbeam will automatically switch oM
and the partial high beam will switch on.
= If highly reOective signs are detected, ULTRA
RANGE Highbeam will be switched oM auto-
matically.
