Complaint:

When the High Beam Assist is activated a "High Beam Assist inoperative" message appears in the instrument cluster.

Switch-on conditions for High Beam Assist:

- High Beam Assist in instrument cluster menu "On"

- Multifunction switch set to high beam position

- Light sensor detects "Night"

Cause:

In isolated circumstances, it can happen that the multifunction camera fails to log into the data bus CAN in the temperature ranges (23 °F to + 41 °F

and 68 °F to 86 °F). A fault code entry is not made. Following a renewed ignition sequence and a change in component temperature, the system is operational again.

Replace MFK and calibrate with the aid of the "calibration target for Night View Assist" special tool (W 000 589 01 20 00).
