The system is an energy saving aid – it

cannot in all situations determine when the

The driver is always responsible for driving

the vehicle with lighting that is safe for the

traffic conditions and as specified by appli-

cable traffic regulations.

LIGHTING

Active high beam

Active high beams is a function that uses
camera sensors in the upper edge of the
windshield to detect the headlights of
approaching vehicles or the taillights of the
vehicle directly ahead. When either of these
is detected, the vehicle's headlights will auto-
matically switch from high beams to low
beams.

Active high beams is indicated by the 

 symbol.

This function can be used in dark conditions
when the vehicle's speed is approx. 20 km/h
(approx. 12 mph) or higher. The function can
also detect street lighting. When the camera
sensor no longer detects an approaching vehi-
cle or a vehicle ahead, the headlights will
return to high beams after a second or two.

Activating active high beams

Active high beams can be activated and deac-
tivated by turning the lighting ring on the left-
side steering wheel lever to position 

.

The lighting ring will then return to 

.

When active high beams are activated, a white

 symbol will be displayed in the instru-

ment panel. When high beams are on, the
symbol will be blue.

If active high beams are deactivated when the
high beams are on, the headlights will auto-
matically switch to low beams.

Limitations for active high beams

The camera sensor on which the function is
based has limitations.

If this symbol and the message

Active High Beam

 

Temporarily

unavailable

 is displayed in the

instrument panel, switching

between high and low beams must be done
manually. The 

 symbol will go out when

the message is displayed.

The same applies if this symbol
along with the message

Windscreen sensor

 

Sensor

blocked, see Owner's manual

 is

displayed.

Active high beams may be temporarily unavail-
able in certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or

rain. When active high beams become availa-
ble again, or the windshield sensors are no
longer blocked, the message will disappear
and the 

 symbol will be displayed.

WARNING

Automatic high beam is an aid in using the

best possible light based on prevailing con-

ditions.
The driver is always responsible for man-

ually switching between high and low

beam when traffic situations or weather

conditions require this.

anything blocks them while they are opening
or closing.

If pinch protection is activated, movement will
stop and then retract automatically to approx.
50 mm (2 inches) from the point at which it
was blocked (or to full ventilation position).

It is still possible to override pinch protection
when closing is interrupted (e.g. due to ice) by
pressing and holding down the control in the
same direction.

If there is any problem with the pinch protec-
tion, a rest procedure can be tested.

If the starter battery is disconnected, the

function for automatic opening and closing

must be reset to function correctly. A reset

is required in order for the pinch protection

to work.

Adjusting the rearview mirror

dimming function

Bright light entering the vehicle from behind,
e.g. from the headlights of following vehicles,
could reflect in the rearview mirror and door
mirrors and cause a glare. Use the dimming
function when light from behind is distract-
ing.

Auto-dim

If bright light enters the vehicle from behind,
the door mirrors will automatically dim when it
is dark outside or when lighting conditions are
low, for example when driving in tunnels.
Auto-dim is always active when the engine is
running, except when reverse gear is engaged.

NOTE

Adjustments to the sensitivity level will not
be noticeable immediately but will instead
take effect after a short period of time.

The sensitivity level for dimming will affect
both the rearview mirror and door mirrors.

To change the dimming sensitivity level:

1. Tap 

Settings

 in the Top view in the center

display.

2. Tap 

My Car

Mirrors and Convenience

.

3. Under 

Rearview Mirror Auto Dimming

,

select 

Normal

, 

Dark

 or 

Light

.

The rearview mirror has two sensors - one
pointing forward and one pointing rearward -
which work together to identify and eliminate
glare. The forward-pointing sensor monitors
ambient light, while the rearward-pointing
sensor monitors light from the headlights of
following vehicles.

For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto-
dim, the rearview mirror must also be equip-
ped with auto-dim.

NOTE

If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a
parking permit, transponder, sunshade or
objects on the seats or in the cargo com-
partment in a way that prevents light from
reaching the sensors, the auto-dim func-
tion in the door and rearview mirrors will
be reduced.
