Dipped beam (p. 153)

Dipped beam

When driving with the stalk switch's rotating
ring in the

position, dipped beam is

activated automatically in weak daylight or
darkness or when the car's electrical system
is in ignition position

position.

With the stalk switch's rotating ring in
position, dipped beam is also activated auto-
matically if the rear fog lamp is activated.

With the stalk switch's rotating ring in the

position, dipped beam is always acti-

vated when the car's electrical system is in
ignition position

Tunnel detection

The car detects when it is driven into a tunnel
and switches from daytime running lights to
dipped beam.

Note that the rotating ring in the left-hand
stalk switch must be in

mode for tunnel

detection to work.

Using main beam

Main beam is operated with the left-hand
stalk switch. Main beam is the car's stron-
gest lighting and should be used when driv-
ing in the dark for better visibility, as long as
it does not dazzle other road users.

Steering wheel stalk switch with rotating ring.

Main beam flash

Move the stalk switch backwards slightly
to main beam flash position. Main beam
comes on until the stalk switch is
released.

Main beam

Main beam can be activated when the
steering wheel stalk switch's rotating ring
is in position

. Activate

main beam by moving the stalk switch for-
wards.
Deactivate by moving the stalk switch
backwards.

When main beam has been activated the

symbol illuminates in the driver display.

Active main beam (p. 154)

•

Active main beam

Active main beam is a function which uses a
camera sensor at the top edge of the wind-
screen to detect the headlamp beams from
oncoming traffic or the rear lights of vehicles
in front, and then switches from main beam
to dipped beam.

The symbol

represents active main beam.

The function can start while driving in the dark
when the car's speed is approx. 20 km/h
(approx. 12 mph) or higher. The function can
also take streetlights into account. When the
camera sensor no longer detects any oncom-
ing car or car in front, main beam is switched
on again after about a second.

When dipped beam is activated.

155

Activate active main beam

Active main beam is activated and deactivated
by turning the left-hand stalk switch to posi-
tion

. The rotating ring then returns to

position

. When active main beam is

activated, the symbol

illuminates with a

white glow in the driver display. When main
beam is activated, the symbol shines blue.

If active main beam is deactivated while main
beam is on, the lighting is immediately reset to
dipped beam.

Adaptive functionality

For cars with LED

headlamps

, active main

beam has adaptive functionality

. In this case,

unlike what happens during conventional dim-
ming, the light beam continues to illuminate
with main beam on both sides of oncoming
traffic or vehicles ahead – only the part of the
light beam that points directly to the vehicle is
dimmed.

Adaptive functionality: Dipped beam directly towards

oncoming vehicle, but continued main beam on both

sides of the vehicle.

The main beam is partly dimmed, i.e. if the
light beam shines with slightly more than
dipped beam, the symbol

in the driver

display shines blue.

Limitations for active main beam

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

If this symbol is shown in the driver
display, together with the message

Active High Beam

Temporarily

unavailable

, then switching

between main and dipped beam must be per-
formed manually. The

symbol extin-

guishes when these message are shown.

The same applies if this symbol is
shown together with the message

Windscreen sensor

Sensor

blocked, see Owner's manual

Active main beam may be temporarily unavail-
able e.g. in situations with dense fog or heavy
rain. When active main beam becomes availa-
ble again, or the windscreen sensors are no
longer blocked, the message goes out and the

symbol illuminates.

WARNING

Active main beam is an aid for using the

optimum beam pattern when conditions

are favourable.
The driver always bears responsibility for

manually switching between main and

dipped beam when traffic situations or

weather conditions so require.

After the driver brakes to a low speed and
then releases the brake, the brake light returns

have

pinch protection which is deployed if they are
blocked by any object while opening or clos-

In the event of blocking, the movement stops
and then reverses automatically to approx.
50 mm (approx. 2 inches) from the blocked
position (or to full ventilation position).

It is possible to force pinch protection when
closing has been cancelled, e.g. when ice is
formed, by continuing to press the control in
one and the same direction.

If any fault arises with the pinch protection, a
reset sequence can be tested.
