The dynamic high beam assistant cannot compensate for road and weather circumstances while driving. The system saves the driver from having to operate the switch. The driver always remains responsible for choosing the correct light setting.

Specific situations in which to operate the headlight switch manually:

  • In heavy rain, snowy conditions. (general poor visibility and bad weather conditions).

  • When the vehicle sensors are dirty, covered or broken.

  • When oncoming or preceding vehicle lights are obscured, for example by a solid barrier.

    The image high beam light (blue) comes on additionally.

  • High beam turns off automatically:

    If the vehicle speed drops below 30 km/h (18 MPH) or other road users are detected.

    The image high beam light (blue) turns off.

If the dynamic high beam assistant cannot function (for example: up to 15 seconds after start up, snow covering front camera or similar) the headlights will operate at night in low beam until the system can activate.

Full dynamic high beam assistant operation is shown by the image indicator light. If the system cannot function, only the image dipped beam indicator light is illuminated.
