If road users are insuciently lit up, e.g. pe-
destrians or cyclists.
●
On closed curves, when the trac in the
opposite direction is partially hidden, on pro-
nounced slopes or inclinations.

●
If the windscreen is damaged in the camera's
field of vision.
●
If the camera's field of vision is misted up, dirty

WARNING
The comfort features of the main beam assist
must not lead you to take any risks. The sys-
tem is not a replacement for driver concen-

The main beam regulator may not recog-
nise all driving situations correctly and may
operate with limitations in certain circum-

When the camera’s field of view is dirty,
covered or damaged, the operation of the
main beam regulator may be aected. This
also applies when the vehicle’s lighting in-
stallation is modified, e.g. when additional
headlamps are installed.
