Volkswagen ID.4: Advanced high beam control (Dynamic Light Assist)

Volkswagen ID.4 2021-2024 (E21) Owners Manual / Advanced high beam control (Dynamic Light Assist)

Advanced high beam control (Dynamic Light Assist) lights up the road and its edge areas as much as possible. At the same time, it avoids dazzling traffic ahead or oncoming traffic. The system uses a camera to detect other self-illuminating road users and their distance from your vehicle and specifically switches off areas in the light distribution. If it is no longer possible to prevent another road user from being dazzled, the high beam is completely switched off. Dynamic Light Assist also generally detects well-lit areas such as towns and deactivates the high beam headlights when driving through these areas.

The high beam headlights switch on and off automatically within the limits of the system, depending on the environmental and traffic conditions and the vehicle speed → .

Dynamic Light Assist can be activated and deactivated in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu).

Switching on Dynamic Light Assist

1. Switch the ignition on.

2. Switch on the automatic headlights .

3. Tap the turn signal and high beam lever forward out of the basic position.

When Dynamic Light Assist is switched on, the indicator light lights up in the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit display. If Dynamic Light Assist is active, the blue indicator light for the high beams in the instrument cluster will turn on.

Switching off Dynamic Light Assist

1. Switch off automatic headlights.

Or: Dynamic Light Assist switched on and active, pull the turn signal and high beam lever backwards.

Or: if Dynamic Light Assist is switched on and not active, tap the turn signal and high beam lever forward. The manual high beam headlights are now switched on. Pull the turn signal and high beam lever backwards to switch the high beam headlights off manually if necessary.

Or: Switch off the ignition.

System limitations

The high beams must be switched off manually in the following situations, because Dynamic Light Assist may not switch them off at the right time or at all:

  • In poorly lit towns which cannot be recognized as a town by the system.
  • On poorly lit roads with strongly reflective signs.
  • If there are others on the road who have inadequate lighting, such as pedestrians or cyclists.
  • On tight curves where the view of traffic is partially obstructed, on steep rises, or in dips.
  • When there are oncoming vehicles on roads with a center barrier and the drivers in the oncoming vehicle can clearly see above the barrier, for example truck drivers.
  • In fog, snow, and heavy rain.
  • When there are dust and sand in the air.
  • If the windshield is damaged in the camera's field of vision.
  • If the camera visual field is fogged over, dirty, or covered by a sticker, snow, or ice.
  • If the camera switches off automatically due to a high ambient temperature or exposure to direct sunlight for a prolonged period. Dynamic Light Assist will be available once the camera is available again.
  • If the camera is faulty and the power supply is interrupted.

WARNING

Dynamic Light Assist may not detect all traffic situations correctly and the function may be restricted in certain situations. Dynamic Light Assist is only an aid. The driver is always responsible for turning on the correct vehicle lighting. Switching on the high beam headlight at the wrong time may distract and blind other road users. This can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

  • Always control the headlights yourself and adapt them to the lighting, visual, and traffic conditions.
  • Switch the high beam off manually if it could blind other road users.

WARNING

If the camera lens is dirty, covered or damaged, the functionality of the Dynamic Light Assist may be limited. This is also the case if the vehicle lighting system is changed, such as by adding auxiliary headlights. This can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

  • Regularly clean the camera view area and keep it free of snow and ice.
  • Do not cover the camera view area.
  • Regularly check the windshield for damage in the camera lens area.

Dynamic cornering light

The dynamic cornering lights provide optimum illumination of the roadway.

The dynamic cornering light only works when the automatic headlights are switched on and at speeds of more than approximately 10 km/h (approximately 6 mph).

Some settings can be saved in the driver personalization user profiles and will change when the user profile is switched.
