The concept

When the lights are switched on, 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 as‐

switched on whenever the traffic situation al‐
lows. The driver can intervene at any time and
switch the high beams on and off as usual.

push the turn indicator lever in the direction
of the high beam.

cluster lights up. The high beams are
switched on and off automatically.

The system responds to light from oncoming
traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to ad‐
equate illumination, e.g., in towns and cities.
