> Use the headlamp flasher as usual when the low beams are on. System limits The high-beam assistant cannot replace personal judgment about the use of high beams. In situations that require it, you should therefore switch to low beams manually; failure to do so can constitute a safety hazard.< In the following sample situations, the system will not function or will only function to a limited degree, possibly requiring the driver to react personally: > in extremely unfavorable weather conditions such as fog or heavy precipitation > when you perceive poorly illuminated road users such as pedestrians, cyclists, horseback riders, carriages, when rail or shipping traffic is close to the road, or at deer crossings > in sharp curves, on steep hilltops or dips, when there cross-traffic, or in the presence of half-concealed oncoming traffic on the highway > in poorly lit areas and in the presence of highly reflective signs > in the low speed range > when the windshield in the region of the interior rearview mirror is fogged, dirty, or covered by stickers, decals, etc. > when the sensor is dirty. Clean the sensor on the front side of the interior rearview mirror with a cloth moistened with a little glass cleaner. First, switch on the parking lamps or the low beams. The green indicator lamp in the instrument panel lights up whenever the fog lamps are on. If the automatic headlamp control is activated, the low beams will come on automatically when you switch on the fog lamps.< High-beam assistant is activated and is stored for the remote control currently in use.
