High-beam Assistant The concept
When the low beams are switched on, this sys‐
tem automatically switches the high beams on
and off. The procedure is controlled by a sensor
on the front of the interior rearview mirror. The
assistant ensures that the high beams are
switched on whenever the traffic situation al‐
lows. The driver can intervene at any time and
switch the high beams on and off as usual.
Activating
The High-beam Assistant can be activated
when the low beams are switched on.1.Turn the light switch to or .2.Press the button on the turn signal lever,
arrow.
The indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up.
When the low beams are on, the lights are au‐
tomatically brightened or dimmed.
The system responds to light from oncoming
traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to
adequate illumination, e.g., in towns and cities.
The blue indicator lamp in the instru‐
ment cluster lights up when the system
switches on the high beams.
Switching the high beams on and off

Halogen headlamps When crossing over into countries in which
driving takes place on the other side of the
road than in the country in which the vehicle is
registered, measures must be taken to prevent
the blinding effect of the headlamps. The serv‐
ice center can provide the necessary masking
film. Adhere to the following instructions when
applying the film.
LED headlamps The light distribution of LED headlamps reduces
the blinding effect when driving in a country in
which driving takes place on the other side of
the road than in the country of registration.Seite 69LampsControls69
