Active high beam

Active high beams is a function that uses cam-
era 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 automatically switch from high
beams to low beams.

Active high beam is enabled by moving the lighting ring
on the steering wheel lever to

The function can also detect street lighting.
When the camera sensor no longer detects an
approaching vehicle or a vehicle ahead, the head-
lights will return to high beams.

This function can be used in dark conditions
when the vehicle's speed is approx. 20 km/h
(approx. 12 mph) or higher.

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

When active high beams are activated, a white

symbol will be displayed in the instrument

panel.

When high beams are on, the symbol will be blue.
For LED headlights, this applies even if the high
beams are partially dimmed, i.e. if the headlights
are illuminated with slightly more than low beams.

Vehicles with LED

headlights*

If the active high beams are equipped with the
auto on/off function

, the headlights will return to

high beams a second or so after the camera sen-
sor no longer detects the headlights of approach-
ing vehicles or the taillights of a vehicle ahead.

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 instru-

ment panel, switching between high

and low beams must be done manually. The light-
ing ring on the steering wheel lever can remain in
the

position. 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 unavailable
in certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or rain. When
active high beams become available 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 condi-

tions.
The driver is always responsible for manually

switching between high and low beam when

traffic situations or weather conditions require

this.

Pinch protection for windows and

sun curtains

All power windows and sun curtains* have a
pinch protection function that is triggered if any-
thing 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 protection,
a rest procedure can be tested.

WARNING

If the starter battery is disconnected, the func-

tion for automatic opening and closing must

be reset to function correctly. A reset is

required in order for the pinch protection to

work.

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 distracting.

If bright light enters the vehicle from behind, the
door mirrors will automatically dim. Auto-dim is
always active when the engine is running, except
when reverse gear is engaged.

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

monitors light from the headlights of following
vehicles.

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