Switching the high beams on and off >
manually
When the windshield in front of the interior
rearview mirror is fogged over, dirty or cov-
ered with stickers, etc.
Whenever you wish, or when the situation
requires, you can intervene:
>
If the sensor is dirty. Clean the sensor on
the front of the interior rearview mirror using
a cloth moistened with a small amount of
glass cleaner.
>
If the high-beam assistant switches on the
high beams, but you would like to drive with
the low beams, simply switch off the high
beams using the turn indicator lever. This
deactivates the high-beam assistant.
To reactivate the system, briefly push the
turn indicator lever toward the high beams
again.

If the high-beam assistant switches on the
low beams, but you would like to drive with
the high beams, switch on the high beams
as usual. This deactivates the system and
the high beams need to be switched off
manually, if necessary.
To reactivate the system, briefly push the
turn indicator lever toward the high beams
again.

Use the headlamp flasher as usual with the
low beams switched on.
The high-beam assistant is activated and is
stored for the remote control currently in use.
System limitations
The high-beam assistant cannot serve as
Fog lamps*
a substitute for the driver's personal judg-
ment of when to use the high beams. Therefore,
manually switch off the high beams in situations
where this is required to avoid a safety risk.<
The system is not fully functional in situations
such as the following, and driver intervention
may be necessary:
>
In very unfavorable weather conditions,
such as fog or heavy precipitation
>
In detecting poorly-lit road users, such as
pedestrians, cyclists, horseback riders and
wagons; when driving close to train or ship
traffic; and at animal crossings
The parking lamps or low beams must
be switched on for the fog lamps to
operate. The green indicator lamp in
the instrument cluster lights up whenever the
fog lamps are on.
>
In tight curves, on hilltops or in depressions,
in cross traffic or half-obscured oncoming
traffic on highways
The fog lamps are switched off while you acti-
vate the headlamp flasher or switch on the high
beams.
>
>
In poorly lit towns and cities and in the pres-
ence of highly reflective signs
