Important safety notes
GWARNING
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not recognize
road users:
Rwho have no lights, e.g. pedestrians
Rwho have poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
Rwhosel ighting is blocked,e .g. byabarrier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist may fail to recognize other road users
that have lights, or may recognize them too
late. In this, or in similar situations, the auto-
matic high-beam headlamp swilln ot be deac-
tivated or wil lbeactivated regardless. There is
ar isk of an accident.
Always carefully observe the traffic conditions

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:
