or cannot be switched
on. The on-board voltage is too low because too many electrical consum-
ers are switched on.
X Switch off electrical consumers that you do not need, such as the
rear window heating or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the seat heating will switch
back on automatically. Steering wheel

WARNING
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not recognise road users:
R who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians
R who have poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a barrier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist may fail to recognise other road users
that have lights, or may recognise them too
late. In this, or in similar situations, the auto-
matic main-beam headlamps will not be deac-
tivated or will be activated despite the pres-
ence of other road users. There is a risk of an accident.
Always carefully observe the traffic conditionsand switch off the main-beam headlamps in
good time.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into
account road, weather or traffic conditions.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You are
responsible for adjusting the vehicle's lighting
to the prevailing light, visibility and traffic con-
ditions.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can be
restricted if there is:
R poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
R dirt on the sensors or if the sensors are
obscured
