System limitations
In the following cases, the main beam head-
light must be switched off manually because
the main beam assist will not disconnect it on
time or disconnect it at all:
On roads with insufficient lighting with very
reflective signs
If road users are insufficiently lit up, e.g. pe-
destrians or cyclists.
On closed curves, when the traffic in the
opposite direction is partially hidden, on pro-
nounced slopes or inclinations.
On roads with traffic in the opposite direc-
tion and with a central reservation barrier
where the driver can see over it e.g. lorry driv-
ers.
In the event of fog, snow or heavy rain
In the event of dust or sand storms
If the windscreen is damaged in the cam-
era's field of vision.
If the camera's field of vision is misted up,
dirty or covered by a sticker, snow or ice.
If the camera is damaged or if the power
supply has been cut off.
WARNING
The convenience features of the main
beam assist shoul
d not encourage the tak-
ing of risks. The system is not a replace-
ment for driver concentration.
You are always in control of the main
beam and adapting it to the light, visibility
and traffic conditions.
It is possible that the main beam head-
light control does not recognise all driving
situations and is limited under certain cir-
cumst
ances.
When the field of vision of the camera is
dirty, covered or damaged, operation of
the main beam control may be affected.
This also applies when changes are made
to the vehicle lighting system, for example,
if additional headlights are installed.
CAUTION
To avoid affecting the operation of the sys-
t
em, take the following points into consid-
eration:
Clean the field of vision of the camera
regularly and make sure it is free of snow
and ice.
Do not cover the field of vision of the
camera.
Check that the windscreen is not dam-
aged in the area of the field of vision of the
camera.
Note
The headlight fl
asher can be turned on
and off manually at any time with the turn
signal and main beam lever
page 120.
If there are objects that radiate light in
the camera's area of influence, e.g. a port-
able navigation system, this may affect the
operation of the main beam assist system.
