Active main beam*
Active main beam function is available with
on/off functionality, or adaptive functionality,
depending on headlamp variant. The function
detects the headlamp beams from oncoming
traffic or the rear lights of vehicles in front,
and switches the lighting from main beam to
dipped beam. Active main beam with adap-
tive functionality only dims the part of the light
beam that points directly to the vehicle. The
lighting returns to main beam when the
incoming light has stopped.
Active main beam - AHB
Active main beam (Active High Beam - AHB)
is a function which uses a camera sensor at
the top edge of the windscreen to detect the
headlamp beams from oncoming traffic or the
rear lights of vehicles in front, and then
switches from main beam to dipped beam.
The function can also take streetlights into
account.
Car with halogen headlamps
The lighting returns to main beam about a
second after the camera sensor no longer
detects the headlamp beams from oncoming
traffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front.
Car with active Xenon headlamps
If the active main beam has the on/off func-
tionality then the lighting returns to main
19
When dipped beam is switched on.
