Manually switching between high and
low beams
You can intervene at any time you wish or the
situation requires.
> If the high-beam assistant has switched on
the high beams, but you want to use the low
beams, simply switch to the low beams with
the turn signal lever. The high-beam assis-
tant is deactivated in the process.
To reactivate the system, briefly press the
turn signal lever in the high beam direction
again.
> If the high-beam assistant has switched on
the low beams, but you want to use the high
beams, switch to the high beams in the
accustomed manner. The system is deacti-
vated in the process and you must switch to
the low beams manually.
To reactivate the system, briefly press the
turn signal lever in the high beam direction
again.
> You use the headlamp flasher as usual with
low beams.
System limits
The high-beam assistant cannot replace
personal decisions on the benefits of
using the high beams. In situations which
require this, you should therefore switch to the
low beams manually to avoid a safety risk.
<
In the following example situations, the system
either does not operate or only operates to a
limited degree and a personal reaction may be
required:
> Under extremely unfavorable weather con-
ditions, such as heavy fog or precipitation.
> For perceiving road users with poor lighting
of their own, e.g. pedestrians, cyclists, peo-
ple on horseback, horse-drawn vehicles,
with train or ship traffic close to the road and
wild animals crossing the road.
> In tight curves, on steep crowns or depres-
sions, with cross traffic or partially con-
cealed oncoming traffic on the freeway.
> In poorly lit places and with highly reflective
signs.
> In the low speed range.
> When the windshield is dirty or covered with
stickers, decals etc. in the area of the inside
rearview mirror.
> When the sensor is dirty. Clean the sensor
on the front side of the inside rearview mir-
ror with a cloth moistened with a small
amount of glass cleaner.
Fog lamps
Briefly press the button to switch on/off.
Front fog lamps
The parking lamps or low beams must be
switched on for the fog lamps to operate. The
green indicator lamp on the Info Display 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. <
Instrument lighting
You can adjust the lighting intensity with the
knurled wheel.
