Activate active main beam
Active main beam is activated and deactivated
by turning the left-hand stalk switch to posi-
tion
. The rotating ring then returns to
position
. When active main beam is
activated, the symbol
illuminates with a
white glow in the driver display. When main
beam is activated, the symbol shines blue.
If active main beam is deactivated while main
beam is on, the lighting is immediately reset to
dipped beam.
Active main beam does not need to be reacti-
vated every time the car is started.
Limitations for active main beam
The camera sensor on which the function is
based has limitations.
If this symbol is shown in the driver
display, together with the message
Active High Beam Temporarily
unavailable, then switching
between main and dipped beam must be per-
formed manually. The
symbol extin-
guishes when these message are shown.
The same applies if this symbol is
shown together with the message
Windscreen sensor Sensor
blocked, see Owner's manual.
Active main beam may be temporarily unavail-
able e.g. in situations with dense fog or heavy
rain. When active main beam becomes availa-
ble again, or the windscreen sensors are no
longer blocked, the message goes out and the
symbol illuminates.
WARNING
Active main beam is an aid for using the
optimum beam pattern when conditions
are favourable.
The driver always bears responsibility for
manually switching between main and
dipped beam when traffic situations or
weather conditions so require.
