The passing beam reduces the risk of dazzling other road users.
The passing beam is part of the automatic lights mode and adapts to the driving conditions. However, if you manually select the passing beam in the centre display, the beam won't have adaptive features and keeps the front lights dipped.
When enabled as part of the automatic lights mode or automatic high beam setting, the passing beam acts as part of the adaptive front-light system and automatically adjusts to the driving conditions.
Important
Make sure that the car cameras are well-maintained and kept clean. If the cameras’ views are obscured by dirt, they will not be able to obtain enough information to properly direct the car’s lighting responses.
