detected 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.
