Automatic alignment of the main-beam assistant
In order to operate correctly, the image sensor must be aligned parallel with the vehicle's centreline. When the
car is driven at night, the main-beam assistant can automatically correct alignment up to 3
°
to the left or 3
°
to the
right. This correction compensates for minor deviations from the centreline.
Driving conditions for automatic directional orientation of the main-beam assistant are:
•
Straight ahead for a distance of approx. 50 km: A relatively straight stretch accelerates the directional
orientation.
•
Road marking must be clearly visible.
