NOTE:
• The function is enabled only if the
brightness sensor detects the right
lighting conditions and them switch
to low beam on.
• Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of vehicles
in the field of view will cause
headlights to remain on longer
(closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt,
film, and other obstructions on the
windshield or camera lens will cause
the system to function improperly.
Automatic High Beam Failure
In the event of an automatic high
beam system failure, the related
amber warning light will light up on
the TFT display.
Take your vehicle to the nearest
Authorized Maserati Dealer as soon as
possible avoiding to use this system. High Beam with “Glare Free”
Feature (for “Full-LED”
headlight with AFS) The "Glare Free" feature associated
with "Full-LED" headlamps assists the
driver during traveling on an off-city
road with not sufficient environmental
illumination allowing the high beam
use also with other traffic participants
without glaring disturbance.
The no glaring effect is obtained
through matrixes of LED that are
dynamically switched on and off in
order to create a shadow zone in
correspondence of each other traffic
participants lights (motor vehicles and
bicycles, as well), according to the
information about other vehicles’
lights coming from the forward-facing
digital camera located on the
windshield , behind the internal
rear-view mirror.
The no glaring system is a
multi-shadow system, since it’s able to
create up to four light tunnels
simultaneously , each tunnel zone is as
large as the obstacle that should not
be glared.
The figure represents an example of
the car that is travelling in the
following scenarios: 1. two vehicles ahead in the same
direction;
2. another vehicle that is
overtaking;
3. another vehicle proceeding in the
opposite direction.
The system is able to detect and react
to an oncoming vehicle starting from
a distance of about 400 yd (400 m), in
a couple of seconds. Instead, in case of
the preceding vehicles, the system is
able to detect and react in few
seconds starting from a distance of
about 100 yd (100 m).
