High-Beam Assistant.

How often do you actually use your high-beam lights? Probably a lot less than is really necessary. Despite the fact that there’s a technology that avoids you always having to dip your headlights for oncoming traffic. And, when vision is poor, it even decides when you need more light than usual: the High-Beam Assistant from BMW ConnectedDrive.

More light means more safety. The High-Beam Assistant from
BMW ConnectedDrive automatically takes care of switching between high and low beam when you’re driving your BMW at night. The camera installed close to your rear-view mirror monitors the traffic situation and reacts immediately to potential light sources at distances of up to 1,000 metres. When the High-Beam Assistant is activated and recognises an approaching vehicle or the rear lights of the vehicle ahead, the system automatically switches your headlights to low beam and back
to high beam when the situation permits.

Even safer is driving at night with the glare-free High-Beam Assistant in combination with the special equipment Adaptive Headlights. The innovative feature from BMW ConnectedDrive guarantees ideal visibility in the dark without dazzling other drivers. The system avoids dipping the headlights altogether and allows for a more effective lasting high beam. Other drivers are “blanked out” and not disturbed by the light. Headlight ranges in excess of 400 metres guarantee early detection of hazards and better guidance.

The glare-free High-Beam Assistant is available in the following models:
BMW 3 Series Sedan, BMW ActiveHybrid 3, BMW 3 Series Touring,
BMW 7 Series Sedan and BMW ActiveHybrid 7.
