when parked.

engine.

High-beam assistant*

The concept

This system automatically switches the high
beams on and off. The procedure is controlled
by a sensor on the front of the interior rearview
mirror. The assistant ensures that the high
beams are switched on whenever the traffic sit-
uation allows. It handles this task for you and
gives you the benefit of the best possible view.
You can intervene at any time and switch the
high beams on and off as usual.

Activating the system

1.

Turn the light switch to position

3, refer to

.

2.

With the low beams switched on, briefly
push the turn indicator lever in the direction
of the high beam.

The indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the high beams
are activated. The system automati-

cally switches from high beams to low beams
and vice versa in response to oncoming traffic,
traffic ahead of you, and adequate ambient
lighting, e.g. on city streets.
