Adaptive main beam headlights

Depending on the vehicle, the adaptive high beam headlights are divided into several independent vertical segments. This function uses a camera 7 located behind the interior rear view mirror to detect vehicles that are in front as well as vehicles moving in the opposite direction.
Note: make sure the windscreen is not obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensation, etc.).
When a vehicle is detected, the segments illuminating this area automatically switch off so as not to dazzle it.
Under certain conditions, the brightness of the adaptive main beam headlights will be modified to optimise lighting:
  • when approaching reflective signs, the lighting power will be locally reduced in order to limit dazzling;
  • when on a motorway, the beam will be reduced in order to minimise the annoyance to road users moving in the opposite direction.
