FLA: High-beam assistant
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.
If only a high-beam assistant (SA5AC) is present, the light points, light colors and light intensity which are recorded by the FLA camera are evaluated by the FLA control unit.
The high-beam assistant identifies the oncoming and ahead driving road users with the help of the FLA camera. The high-beam assistant monitors the distant field (up to 1000 m) ahead of the vehicle for the identification of a vehicle. By doing this, oncoming vehicles are identified starting at a distance of 1000 m; vehicles that are driving in front are identified starting at 400 m.
