Headlight adjustment
Headlight adjustment (Light Assist)
The headlight
adjustment automatically con-
nects and disconnects these lights depend-
ing on the environmental and traffic condi-
tions and on the speed, within the limitations
of the system ›››
. This is monitored by a
sensor locat
ed on the inside of the wind-
screen, above the interior rear vision mirror.
The automatic headlight adjustment auto-
matically switches on the lights depending
on the vehicles travelling in front and in the
opposite direction, and on other environmen-
tal and traffic conditions from an approxi-
mate speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) and turns
them off again at speeds below approximate-
ly 30 km/h (18 mph).

The following conditions can cause the head-

●
On roads with insufficient lighting with very
reflective signs
●
If road users are insufficiently lit up, e.g.
pedestri
ans or cyclists.
●
On closed curves, when the traffic in the
opposite direction is partially hidden, on pro-
nounced slopes
●
On roads with traffic in the opposite direc-
tion and with a central reservation barrier
where the driver can see through gaps or
over it e.g. lorry drivers.
●
If the camera is damaged or if the power
supply has been cut off
●
In the event of fog, snow or heavy rain
●
In the event of dust or sand storms
●
If the windscreen is damaged by the impact
from a stone in the camera's field of vision
●
If the camera's field of vision is misted up,
dirty or covered by a sticker, snow or ice.
WARNING
The greater comfort that the headlight ad-
justment
provides (automatic also) must not
cause you to take risks. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
●
Always monitor the lights yourself and ad-
just them depending on the light, visibility
and traffic conditions.
●
The headlight adjustment (automatic also)
may not correctly detect all situations and in
certain situations may only provide limited
function.
●
If the windscreen is damaged or modifica-
tions are made to the vehicle lighting, this
may harm the functioning of the headlight
adjustment (automatic lights also), for exam-
ple, if additional headlight are fitted.
Note
Main beam and flashed headlights can be
turned on and off m
anually at any time with
the turn signal and main beam lever
