Automatic Main - Beam Headlight Switch-Off When Oncoming Traffic Is Detected
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 94 other vehicles, including the 2013 BMW X6, 2012 BMW X6, 2011 BMW X6, 2010 BMW Z4, and 2010 BMW X6 M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The light cone of the main - beam headlights has a range of about 400 m. The image sensor can detect other light sources within a range of about 1000 m. This ensures that the image sensor detects oncoming vehicles before their drivers can be dazzled by the light cone of the main - beam headlights.
When the image sensor detects an oncoming vehicle, the FLA control unit sends a switch - off recommendation to the light module or footwell module. The light module or footwell module switches the main - beam headlights off.
