High-beam headlights
assistant*
Principle
This system switches the high-beam head-
lights on and off automatically. The process is
controlled by a sensor on the front of the inside
mirror. The assistant ensures that the high-
beam headlights are switched on whenever
permitted by the situation in which the car is
being driven. This relieves the load on you the
driver and optimises your view of the road. You
can of course intervene at any time and switch
the high-beam headlights on and off in the
usual way.
Activating the high-beam headlights
assistant
1.
Turn the illumination switch to switch
position
1, see page
2.
With the low-beam headlights switched on,
briefly press the flashing turn indicator lever
towards high-beam headlights.
