HIGH BEAM ASSIST (LED HEADLIGHT
ONLY)
You can use this function to set the headlights
to change between low beam and high beam
automatically. The system recognizes vehicles
with their lights on, either approaching from the
opposite direction or traveling in front of your
vehicle, and consequently switches the head-
lights from high beam to low beam.
The system automatically adapts the low beam
headlight range depending on the distance to
the other vehicle. Once the system no longer
detects any other vehicles, it switches on the
high beam headlights again.
The system’s optical sensor is located behind
the windshield near the overhead control panel.
WARNING
•The high beam assist system is a conve-
nience but is not a substitute for safe driv-
ing operation. The driver should remain
alert at all times, ensure safe driving prac-
tices and switch the high beams and low
beam manually when necessary.
•The high beam or low beam may not switch
automatically under the following condi-
tions. Switch the high beam and low beam
manually.
–During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
wind, etc.).
–When a light source similar to a head-
light or tail light is in the vicinity of the
vehicle.
–When the headlights of the oncoming
vehicle or the leading vehicle are turned
off, when the color of the light is affected
due to foreign materials on the lights, or
when the light beam is out of position.
–When there is a sudden, continuous
change in brightness.
–When driving on a road that passes over
rolling hills, or a road that has level dif-
ferences.
–When driving on a road with many
curves.–When a sign or mirror-like surface is
reflecting intense light towards the front
of the vehicle.
–When the container, etc. being towed by
a leading vehicle is reflecting intense
light.
–When a headlight on your vehicle is
damaged or dirty.
–When the vehicle is leaning at an angle
due to a punctured tire, being towed, etc.
•The timing of switching the low beam and
high beam may change under the following
situations.
–The brightness of the headlights of the
oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle.
–The movement and direction of the on-
coming vehicle and the leading vehicle.
–When only one light on the oncoming
vehicle or the leading vehicle is illumi-
nated.
–When the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle is a two-wheeled vehicle.
–Road conditions (incline, curve, the road
surface, etc.).
–The number of passengers and the
amount of luggage.
•High beam Assist does not recognize road
users:
–Who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians.
NDS595
2-66Instruments and controls

–Who have low intensity lighting, e. g.
cyclists.
–Whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a
barrier.
•In very rare cases, High beam Assist recog-
nizes road users too late or not at all. In this,
or in similar situations, the automatic high
beam headlights will not be deactivated or
activated regardless. There is a risk of an
accident.
•Always carefully observe the traffic condi-
tions and switch off the high beam head-
lights in good time.
CAUTION
High beam Assist cannot compensate for road
and weather circumstances while driving. The
system saves the driver from having to operate
the switch. The driver always remains respon-
sible for choosing the correct light setting.
Specific situations in which to operate the
headlight switch manually:
•In heavy rain, snowy conditions. (general
poor visibility and bad weather conditions).
•When the vehicle sensors are dirty, covered
or broken.

If you are driving at speeds above approxi-
mately 28 MPH (45 km/h) the headlight range is
set automatically depending on the distance
between the vehicle and other road users.
If you are driving at speeds above approximately
34 MPH (55 km/h) and no other road users are
detected, the high beam headlights are switched
on automatically. The
indicator light in the
combination meter also lights up.
If you are driving at speeds below approxi-
mately 28 MPH (45 km/h) or other road users
are detected or the roads are adequately lit The
high beam headlights are switched off auto-
matically. The

5and the integrated ga-
rage door opener depends on the garage
door drive system. Several attempts might
be necessary. You should test every position
for at least 25 seconds before trying another
position.
Synchronizing the rolling code
If the garage door system uses a rolling code,
you will also have to synchronize the garage
door system with the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror. To do this you
will need to use the programing button on the
door drive control panel. The programing buttonmay be positioned at different locations de-
pending on the manufacturer. It is usually lo-
cated on the door drive unit on the garage
ceiling.
Familiarize yourself with the garage door drive
operating instructions before carrying out the
following steps.
Your vehicle must be within reach of the garage
door or gate opener drive. Make sure that
neither your vehicle nor any persons/ objects
are present within the sweep of the door or
gate.
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
2. Get out of the vehicle.
3. Press the programing button on the door
drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds to initiate
the next step.

If you live in Canada
Canadian radio frequency laws require abreak
(or interruption) of the transmission signals
after broadcasting for a few seconds. Therefore,
these signals may not last long enough for the
integrated garage door opener. The signal is not
recognized during programing. Comparable
with Canadian law, some U.S. garage door
openers also feature abreak.
Proceed as follows:
•If you live in Canada
•If you have difficulties programing the ga-
rage door opener (regardless of where you
live) when using the programing steps.
1. Press and hold one of buttons

transmitter
5and the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between the hand
held transmitter
5and the HomeLink®
depends on the garage door drive system.
Several attempts might be necessary. You
should test every position for at least 25
seconds before trying another position.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
•Check the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive hand-held transmitter
5and whether it is supported. The transmitter
frequency can usually be found on the back
of the garage door drive hand-held transmit-
ter. HomeLink® is compatible with devices
that have units which operate in the fre-
quency range of 280 to 433 MHz.
•Replace the hand-held transmitter5bat-
teries with new batteries.
This increases the likelihood that the hand-
held transmitter
5will transmit a strong
and precise signal to the HomeLink®.
•When programing, hold the hand-held trans-
mitter
5at varying distances and angles
from the button which you are programing.
Try various angles at a distance between 2
and 12 inches (5 to 30 cm) or at the same
angle but at varying distances.

•If another hand-held transmitter is available
for the same garage door drive, repeat the
same programing steps with this hand-held
transmitter
5. Before performing these
steps, make sure that new batteries have
been installed in the hand-held transmitter
5.
•Note that some hand-held transmitters only
transmit for a limited amount of time (the
indicator lamp on the hand-held transmitter
goes out). Press button
6on remote hand-
held transmitter
5again before transmis-
sion ends.
•Align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/ transmission.
