When the low beams are activated, this system automatically switches the high beams on and

sistant ensures that the high beams are acti‐
vated whenever the traffic situation allows. The
driver can intervene at any time and switch the
high beams on and off as usual. In the low
speed range, the high beams are not switched
on by the system.

traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to
adequate illumination, e.g., in towns and cities.
