Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Operating Concept: Notes
The high beam assistant (FLA) is active only under following preconditions:
- Light switch set to automatic
- Driving light activated by rain/driving lights sensor
- Direction indicator/high beam switch flicked once in high beam direction
The rules for automatically switching the high beam headlights on and off are stored in the light module. The high beam assistant is designed as an "assistance function" so that the driver always has the option and duty to override the system when the road situation so requires.
The graphic on the following page shows the operation and function of the high beam assistant based on three scenarios.
