in the accustomed manner.

Activating high-beam assistant

1. Turn the light switch to switch position 3,

refer to page 83.

2. Press the turn signal lever in the high beam

direction with the low beams switched on.

The indicator lamp in the instrument

cluster lights up when the high-beam

assistant is activated. The assistant

automatically switches between high and low

beams, whereby the system reacts to oncom-

ing traffic and traffic ahead, as well as to suffi-

cient lighting, e.g. towns/cities.

Manually switching between high and

low beams

You can intervene at any time if you wish or the

situation requires.

> If the high-beam assistant has switched on

the high beams, however you nevertheless

want to use the low beams, simply switch to

the low beams with the turn signal lever.

The high-beam assistant is deactivated in

the process.

To reactivate the system, briefly press the

turn signal lever in the high beam direction

again.

> If the high-beam assistant has switched on

the low beams, however you nevertheless

want to use the high beams, switch to the

high beams in the accustomed manner. The

system is deactivated in the process and

you must switch to the low beams manually.

To reactivate the system, briefly press the

turn signal lever in the high beam direction

again.

> You use the headlamp flasher as usual with

low beams.

System limits

The high-beam assistant cannot replace

personal decisions on the benefits of

using the high beams. In situations which

require this, you should therefore switch to the

low beams manually to avoid a safety risk.<

In the following example situations, the system

does not operate or only with limitations and a

personal reaction may be required:

> Under extremely unfavorable weather con-

ditions, such as fog or heavy precipitation

> For perceiving road users with poor lighting

of their own, e.g. pedestrians, cyclists, peo-

ple on horseback, horse-drawn vehicles,

with train or ship traffic close to the road and

wild animals crossing the road

> In tight curves, on steep crowns or depres-

sions, with cross traffic or partially con-

cealed oncoming traffic on the freeway

> In poorly lit places and with highly reflective

signs

> In the low speed range

> When the windshield is fogged up, dirty or

covered with stickers, vignettes etc. in the

area of the inside rearview mirror

> When the sensor is dirty. Clean the sensor

on the front side of the inside rearview mir-

ror with a cloth moistened with a small

amount of glass cleaner
