Automatic main beam headlights
Depending on the vehicle, this system switches the main beam headlights on and off automatically. It uses a camera located behind the interior rear-view mirror to detect vehicles that are being followed and those coming in the opposite direction.
The main beam headlights come on automatically if:
- exterior light is weak;
- no other vehicles or lighting are detected;
- the vehicle speed is above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
If any of the above conditions are not fulfilled, the system switches to dipped beam headlights.
Before driving at night: check that the electrical equipment is operating correctly and adjust your headlights. Refer to the information on “Adjusting the headlight beams” in section 1. As a general precaution, check that the lights are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow or objects being transported).

- extreme weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, etc.);
- obstruction in front of the windscreen or camera;
- when a following or oncoming vehicle has weak or hidden lighting;
- incorrect settings for the front headlights;
- reflective systems;
