High-Beam Assistant
The high-beam assistant FLA (option 5AC) assists the customer with the use of the high-beam headlights. Depending on the traffic situation, prevailing ambient light conditions and which vehicle lights are on, the FLA automatically switches the high-beam headlights on or off and thereby assists or relieves the driver of having to operate the high-beam headlights.
High beam can still be switched on and off manually as usual. The driver always has the capability, and the obligation, to override the system whenever the situation is required.
In the F10, the high-beam assistant option can only be ordered with the ZDA Driver Assistance Package.
- Lane departure warning and the high-beam assistant functions are combined in the KAFAS control unit and share the same video camera.
The FLA video camera is a simplified image sensor that can detect light color and intensity.
