Automatic High Beam
Automatic high beam switches between high and low beam depending on traffic.
What is Automatic High Beam?
It uses the front camera. It detects headlights and tail lights. It improves visibility. It usually works above a certain speed and when it is dark enough, and the driver activates it with the light switch or stalk. Street lighting in towns usually keeps it on low beam. A dirty windscreen in front of the camera reduces its performance.
How it works
The camera senses other vehicles' lights.
Why it matters for your car
Reflective signs can confuse it. The driver can override it.
