The headlight assistant (referred to as just system in the following) automati-
cally switches the main beam on/off, if necessary, adjusts the beam of the
front headlights in accordance with the existing traffic situation (other vehi-
cles) and environmental conditions (e.g. driving through a lit village).
The switching on/off of the main beam, if necessary, the adaptation of the
headlight, is controlled by a sensor » Fig. 53.
Depending on the equipment, the following system versions can exist.
Light Assist
automatically switches the main beam on/off.
Dynamic Light Assist
automatically adjusts the light cone shape of the front head-
lights in order to prevent dazzling the oncoming and preceding vehicles, while
ensuring the highest possible illumination of the road edges.
If the driving mode Eco » page 240 , Select the driving mode (Driving Mode
Selection) or travel mode » page 71 , Driving abroad is selected, the automatic
adjustment of the beam is deactivated,
Dynamic Light Assist
only switches the
main beam on/off automatically.
If the Xenon headlights are in the mode rain or fog » page 69 , then
DynamicLight Assist
is deactivated.
If there is a fault, the error message will appear in the instrument cluster dis-
