Applies to: Audi Q7s with main beam assist The main beam assist automatically switches the main beam headlights on or off depending on the surrounding light conditions. A camera (located in the mounting for the interior mirror) detects light sources from other road users. The main beams are activated or deactivated automatically depending on the position of Audi Q7s on either side of the road, on the road speed, and on other traffic and ambient conditions. On Audi Q7s with matrix LED headlights, individual segments of the main beam are activated or deactivated. The relevant sector in front of the Audi Q7 is masked, while the surrounding areas remain lit. The ambient surroundings are thus illuminated optimally without dazzling other road users.
