"Raise lights during driving"
function
When the main beam headlights are
activated, the "Raise lights during
driving" function improves driver vis-
ibility by automatically raising the

main beam headlights.
During deactivation of the main
beam headlights, the dipped beam
headlights return to their original po-
sition.
Automatic main beam head-
lights
Depending on the vehicle, this
system switches the main beam
headlights on and off
automatically.
It uses a camera located behind the
interior rear view mirror to detect ve-
hicles that are being followed and
those coming in the opposite direc-
tion.
The system may en-
counter difficulties under
certain conditions, includ-
ing:
– extreme weather conditions
(rain, snow, fog, etc.);
– obstruction in front of the
windscreen or camera;
– when a following or oncoming
vehicle has weak or hidden
lighting;
– incorrect settings for the
front headlights;
– reflecting systems;
– ...
The main beam headlights come on
automatically if:
– the exterior light level is low;
– no other vehicle or lighting is de-
tected;
– the vehicle speed is above approx-
imately 25 mph (40 km/h).
If any of the above conditions are
not fulfilled, the system switches to
dipped beam headlights.
Note: make sure the windscreen is
not obscured (dirt, mud, snow, con-
densation, etc.).
