Functional description high-beam assistant (FLA 20): 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 in operating the high-beam headlights. The high-beam assistant automatically switches the high-beam headlight on and off depending on the traffic situation. The high-beam assistant recognizes approaching and preceding vehicles as well as built-up areas with continuous street lighting. By automatically switching off the high-beam headlights in good time, the high-beam assistant ensures that the occupants of oncoming vehicles, for example, are not dazzled by the headlights.

Benefits:

Drivers do not have to concern themselves with the job of operating the high-beam headlights. This enhances the level of convenience for drivers. The high-beam headlights are switched on more frequently by the high-beam assistant than is the case with manually operated high-beam headlights. The driver's field of view is optimally illuminated. This makes driving in the dark safer.

IMPORTANT: Driver retains full responsibility despite high-beam assistant

The high-beam assistant merely assists the driver in the task of operating the high-beam headlights. The responsibility for switching the high-beam headlight on and off in accordance with the traffic situation remains with the driver. The high-beam assistant can be deactivated at any time with the turn signal/high beam switch. If a high-beam assistant is present, only the high-beam headlights are switched on.
