The Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) system is a wonderful safety feature and is the future of driving. It is fitted to the world's best cars and the best of the best use LED Headlights. Surprisingly many people have cars fitted with Auto Dip and Adaptive Driving Beam but they don't know this is a feature on the car they are driving, or how to activate them or how they work. This video shows how to activate and deactivate this advanced feature. A feature that improves road safety and driver pleasure. We also show how to set the Auto Headlights and Front Lighting System (AFS)
The Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) is active when AUTO lights are selected and the ambient light level is below a predetermined level.
We use a Jaguar I-Pace to demonstrate AFS and ADB. Below is information from the Jaguar Manual:
ADB evaluates the road scene ahead of the vehicle. ADB automatically adapts the high beam light distribution according to the position of the preceding and oncoming traffic.
ADB is enabled when System (AFS) is enabled.
ADB activates automatically once the vehicle's speed reaches 40 km/h (25 mph) and the camera does not detect an urban environment. ADB automatically deactivates when the vehicle's speed slows to 24 km/h (15 mph), when ambient light exceeds a predetermined level, or when the gear selector is in Reverse (R).
The driver can disable and re-enable the ADB system at any time as follows:
Select Exterior lighting in the Vehicle settings menu via the instrument panel.
Select Headlights High Beam.
Select Adaptive Driving Beam ON or OFF or AHBA.
Pull and release the lighting control to manually override a dipped beam from ADB. Push the lighting control and hold for more than one second to return to ADB. The instrument panel warning lamp illuminates.
Push and release the lighting control to manually select normal high beam. Push the lighting control and hold for more than one second to return to ADB.
Rotate the lighting control to the dipped beam position to switch the ADB system off.
The following may affect operation of the ADB system:
Highly reflective road signs.
Dimly lit road users, e.g., cyclists or pedestrians.
Adverse weather conditions, e.g., rain or fog.
A dirty or obscured sensor.
A dirty, damaged, or misted windscreen.
Oncoming vehicles, partially obscured by a central motorway barrier.
An icy or frosted windscreen.
Is your car fitted with both or any of the advanced lighting systems?
We carried out a quick Google search and the list of car manufacturers did not include Jaguar or the I-Pace and we know it is fitted to this vehicle and the Land Rover, Range Rover (Matrix LED Headlights) etc. But all these vehicles have it as an option.
So we know the list is incomplete but if you have any information on these lighting systems please leave a comment:
Toyota
Porsche
Chevrolet
Genesis
Mazda
Ford
Mercedes Benz
Subaru
Lexus
Volkswagen
Lincoln
Have we missed any cars, please let us know in the comments section?
