High-beam Assistant*<br />
The concept<br />
This system automatically switches the high<br />
beams on and off again. The process is controlled<br />
by a sensor on the front side of the interior<br />
rearview mirror. The Assistant makes sure<br />
that the high beams are switched on whenever<br />
the traffic situation permits. This relieves you of<br />
eyestrain and at the same time offers you the<br />
best possible visibility. Naturally, you can intervene<br />
at any time and switch the high beams on<br />
and off as usual.<br />
Activating system<br />
1. Turn the light switch to position 3, refer to<br />
page 111.<br />
2. With the low beams on, briefly press the<br />
turn signal lever toward the high-beam setting.<br />
The indicator lamp in the instrument<br />
panel lights up when the high-beam<br />
assistant is activated. The system<br />
automatically switches the high beams on and<br />
off, reacting <strong>no</strong>t only to oncoming traffic and<br />
traffic ahead, but also to sufficient illumination,<br />
e.g. in built-up areas.<br />
Switching high beams on and off<br />
manually<br />
If you wish or the situation requires it, you can<br />
intervene at any time:<br />
> If the high-beam assistant has switched on<br />
the high beams, but you want to use low<br />
beams, simply switch them on using the<br />
turn signal lever. This deactivates the highbeam<br />
assistant.<br />
To reactivate the system, briefly press the<br />
turn signal lever toward the high-beam<br />
position.<br />
> If the high-beam assistant has switched on<br />
the low beams, but you want to use high<br />
beams, simply switch them on in the usual<br />
way. This deactivates the system and you<br />
must switch to low beams manually.<br />
To reactivate the system, briefly press the<br />
turn signal lever toward the high-beam<br />
position.<br />
