When variable shade beam is on,
the illumination of the area sur-
rounding oncoming vehicles and
preceding vehicles is partially
shielded while all other areas
continue to be illuminated in
high beam. This enables forward
lighting to be optimized without
blinding surrounding traffic.
If oncoming or preceding vehi-
cles change position, the
shielded area changes and adapts
to the vehicle's position.
AHS (Adaptive High-beam System)
The Adaptive High-beam System uses an in-vehicle camera sensor
to assess the brightness of streetlights, the lights of oncoming and
preceding vehicles, etc., and automatically turns high beam and
variable shade beam on or off as necessary.
