Automatic main beam

headlights



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 vehicles that are being

followed and those coming in the oppo-

site direction.

The main beam headlights come on au-

tomatically if:

– exterior light is weak;

– no other vehicle or lighting is de-

tected;

– the vehicle speed is above approxi-

mately 25 mph (40 km/h).

Switching on

If any of the above conditions are not

fulfilled, the system switches to dipped

beam headlights.
