Active high beam

Active high beams use the camera sensor at the top of the windshield. The camera sensor registers the headlights of oncoming vehicles or the taillights of vehicles ahead and automatically switches from high beams to low beams.

Active high beams is indicated by the PS-1926-Left-side steering wheel lever-Active High Beam Control symbol symbol.

This function can be used in dark conditions when the vehicle's speed is approx. 20 km/h (approx. 12 mph) or higher. The function can also detect street lighting. When the camera sensor no longer detects an approaching vehicle or a vehicle ahead, the headlights will return to high beams after a second or two.

Activating active high beams

Active high beams can be activated and deactivated by turning the lighting ring on the left-side steering wheel lever to position PS-1926-Left-side steering wheel lever-Active High Beam Control symbol. The lighting ring will then return to PS-1926-Left-side steering wheel lever-AUTO symbol. When active high beams are activated, a white PS-1926-Left-side steering wheel lever-Active High Beam Control symbol symbol will be displayed in the instrument panel. When high beams are on, the symbol will be blue.

If active high beams are deactivated when the high beams are on the headlights will automatically switch to low beams.

Limitations for active high beams

The camera sensor on which the function is based has limitations.

If the symbol and the message Active High Beam Temporarily unavailable is displayed in the instrument panel, switching between high and low beams must be done manually.

PS-2007-See User manual, symbol in driver display

The same applies if this symbol along with the message Windscreen sensor blocked See Manual is displayed.

Active high beams may be temporarily unavailable in certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or rain. When active high beams become available again, or the windshield sensors are no longer blocked, the message will disappear and automatic high beam will be reactivated.

 Warning

Automatic high beam is an aid in using the best possible light based on prevailing conditions.

The driver is always responsible for manually switching between high and low beam when traffic situations or weather conditions require this.
