Operation and Indication

In order for the driver to be able to activate and use the high-beam assistant, the light switch must first be set to Automatic or light switch position II.

In the F01/F02, the high-beam assistant has its own activation button in the turn signal/high-beam stalk on the steering column.

While the high-beam assistant can be activated at any time with the light switch in position II, there is an additional prerequisite in the Automatic position whereby the automatic driving lights controller must have already switched on the lights.

Depending on the traffic situation, the prevailing ambient light conditions and which lights on the vehicle have been switched on, the high-beam headlights of the vehicle are switched on or off automatically by the footwell module at the request/activation recommendation of the KAFAS control unit.
