Functional description high-beam assistant (FLA 20): Notes

The high-beam assistant assists the driver in operating the high-beam headlights. The high-beam assistant automatically switches the high-beam headlight on and off depending on the traffic situation. The high-beam assistant recognizes approaching and preceding vehicles as well as built-up areas with continuous street lighting. By automatically switching off the high-beam headlights in good time, the high-beam assistant ensures that the occupants of oncoming vehicles, for example, are not dazzled by the headlights.

Benefits: 

Drivers do not have to concern themselves with the job of operating the high-beam headlights. This enhances the level of convenience for drivers. The high-beam headlights are switched on more frequently by the high-beam assistant than is the case with manually operated high-beam headlights. The driver's field of view is optimally illuminated. This makes driving in the dark safer.

The high-beam assistant merely assists the driver in the task of operating the high-beam headlights. The responsibility for switching the high-beam headlight on and off in accordance with the traffic situation remains with the driver. The high-beam assistant can be deactivated at any time with the turn signal/high beam switch. If a high-beam assistant is present, only the high-beam headlights are switched on.
