High Beam Assist
Details & Technology
Highbeam Assist is controlled by a camera behind the windscreen which continuously
monitors the area in front of the vehicle and the traffic situation ahead of the vehicle. When
the system does not detect any vehicles ahead or oncoming traffic in the reflection zone, high
beam is switched on automatically. Highbeam Assist is activated when the rotary light switch
is set to "AUTO" and the high beam function of the combination switch on the steering wheel
is switched on. Permanent deactivation is possible via the instrument cluster. Highbeam
Assist is active from a speed of 22mph and operates fully automatically. It is available both
for halogen and bi-xenon headlamps.
Components of Highbeam Assist:
• Camera on the inside of the windscreen
• Electronic control unit
• Image-processing software
Benefits & Arguments
• Ideal illumination of the road at all times without blinding oncoming traffic
• Automatic adjustment for enhanced comfort
• This Assist can be deactivated permanently in the instrument cluster or by the
optionally available multifunction steering wheel, code CL4
