ADAPTIVE DRIVING BEAM (ADB) [G2878008]

The Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) system monitors the area in front of the vehicle and adjusts the headlight beam accordingly. The ADB system detects approaching vehicles, and those travelling ahead in the same lane.

NOTE:

The ADB system is only available on vehicles with Premium LED headlights.

The ADB system is active when:

  1. AUTO mode is active. See LIGHTING CONTROL.
  2. Low ambient light conditions are detected.
  3. An urban environment is not detected.
  4. The vehicle’s speed is 40 km/h (25 mph) or higher.
NOTE:

The instrument panel illuminates a blue warning lamp when the ADB system is active, irrespective of the high or dipped beam headlights being illuminated. See AUTO HIGH BEAM (BLUE).

NOTE:

The instrument panel also illuminates a white warning lamp if all the above requirements are not met. See AUTO HIGH BEAM (WHITE).

WARNING:

The ADB system must not be relied on to react correctly in all circumstances. The driver remains responsible for the correct use of the headlights at all times. Incorrect use of the headlights could lead to an accident, potentially causing serious injury or death.

WARNING:

The ADB system uses sensors mounted on the rear of the rear-view mirror. Keep this area of the vehicle clean and free from obstructions, e.g. stickers, debris, mud, snow, or ice. Failure to do so may lead to sensor miscalculations, which could lead to an accident, potentially causing serious injury or death.

The ADB system deactivates when:

  1. The vehicle’s speed drops below 24 km/h (15 mph).
  2. Ambient light levels improve above pre-determined levels.
  3. Reverse (R) is selected.
  4. The front or rear fog lights are selected.
  5. AUTO mode is deactivated.

The ADB system can be overridden using the lighting control.

Pull the lighting control back, and release, to manually change to dipped beam headlights. The instrument panel warning lamps extinguish.

To reactivate the ADB system, push the lighting control forward and release. Repeated pushing of the lighting control toggles operation between the ADB system and manual operation of the high beam headlights. When manual operation is selected, the blue and white warning lamps are replaced with the high beam headlight warning lamp. See HIGH BEAM (BLUE).

The ADB system can be switched on and off via the touchscreen as follows:

  1. Touch the settings icon.¹
  2. Select ALL.
  3. Select Vehicle.
