Functional description for high-beam assistant (FLA 01): Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The high-beam assistant assists the driver to operate the high beam. The high-beam assistant automatically switches the high beam on and off as the traffic situation changes.

The high-beam assistant detects vehicles travelling ahead of the car and oncoming traffic, and it also detects lighted stretches of roadway. By automatically switching off the high beam in good time, the high-beam assistant ensures that the occupants of oncoming vehicles, for example, are not dazzled by the headlamps.

Advantages:

Drivers do not have to concern themselves with the job of operating the high beam. This enhances the level of convenience for drivers. The high beam is switched on more frequently with the high-beam assistant than manually.

The field of view of the driver has optimized illumination at all times. This makes driving in the dark safer.

IMPORTANT: Driver responsibility despite high-beam assistant.

The high-beam assistant only supports operation of the high beam.

Responsibility for switching the high beam on and off appropriately in each traffic situation lies with the driver.

The high-beam assistant can be disabled at any time with the turn indicator/high-beam switch.

If a high-beam assistant is present, only the high beam is switched on.
