Use the headlamp flasher as usual when the
low beams are on.

System limits

The high-beam assistant cannot replace
personal judgment about the use of high

beams. In situations that require it, you should
therefore switch to low beams manually; failure
to do so can constitute a safety hazard.

In the following sample situations, the system
will not function or will only function to a limited
degree, possibly requiring the driver to react
personally:

In extremely unfavorable weather condi-
tions such as fog or heavy precipitation

When you perceive poorly illuminated road
users such as pedestrians, cyclists, horse-
back riders, carriages, when rail or shipping
traffic is close to the road, or at deer cross-
ings

In sharp curves, on steep hilltops or dips,
when there cross-traffic, or in the presence
of half-concealed oncoming traffic on the
highway

In poorly lit areas and in the presence of
highly reflective signs

In the low speed range

When the windshield in the region of the
interior rearview mirror is fogged, dirty, or
covered by stickers, decals, etc.

When the sensor is dirty. Clean the sensor
on the front side of the interior rearview mir-
ror with a cloth moistened with a little glass
cleaner.

High-beam Assistant is activated and is

Fog lamps*

First, switch on the parking lamps or the low
beams. The green indicator lamp in the instru-
ment panel lights up whenever the fog lamps
are on.

If the automatic headlamp control is acti-
vated, the low beams will come on auto-

matically when you switch on the fog lamps.
