Smart Beam

A system that, by acting on the different settings of the vehicle's headlights, improves visibility on Saab vehicles,

They are practically adaptive headlights that move according to the dimensions of a small camera, which, thanks to a system of three mirrors with electrochromic technology, dims the SmartBeam headlights.

SmartBeam uses a miniature chip and camera, combined together by an algorithm that automatically adjusts the vehicle's headlights to optimize their use based on traffic conditions. The system primarily optimizes lighting by eliminating repetitive manual switching on and off in certain situations. SmartBeam is integrated with Gentex Corporation's electrochromic interior rearview mirror, which automatically attenuates reflections from the headlights of vehicles following the vehicle.

Bi-xenon projectors / 0-50 km / h

This function is automatically activated under normal lighting conditions and below 50 km / h. The emitted light is wide and asymmetrical, designed for well-lit city streets. The lighting has been significantly expanded, so pedestrians and objects located at the edges of the carriageway can be recognized in a timely manner. The light beam is designed to avoid glare from other vehicles. Here are the main benefits.

• Wide dispersion of light, especially on a city street with intersections and the presence of pedestrians
• Designed for low speeds
• No reflection on the rest of the traffic

Bi-xenon projectors / 50-100 km / h

This type of lighting is relatively similar to current low beam bulbs, but uses new technologies to improve illumination of the road and side areas during normal driving. In addition to lighting the roadway, the illumination of oncoming traffic will be less intense, this function is activated from 50 to 100 km / h. A special feature is the better illumination of the road fund, so that side hazards (for example, the crossing of wild animals) can be recognized in advance. Here are the main benefits.

• Improved visibility on the right and left side of the road.
• Improved visibility, minimizing glare from oncoming vehicles

Bi-xenon headlights / from 100 km / h and above

This lighting system is designed to provide good visibility at high speeds, especially on motorways. Due to the absence of oncoming vehicles, the lighting area is increased. The field of view is increased from 70 to 140 m, so that very distant objects can be recognized across the entire width of the road without causing discomfort to other vehicles. Here are the main benefits.

• Significantly improved safety and driving comfort
• The highway lighting system is activated when exceeding 100 km / h at a constant speed.

Bi-xenon headlights / in adverse conditions

The lighting system adjusts the light in adverse weather conditions and is activated when rain and snow are detected thanks to a sensor that activates the wipers and rear fog lights. Wide beam distribution, slightly to the side, improves illumination of the edge of the carriageway. The light intensity at a distance is increased in order to recognize signs on the right side of the road and obstacles on the road, despite the weather conditions, in addition, interference to surrounding vehicles is minimized by reducing the reflection of light on a wet road. Here are the main benefits.

• Increased safety in rain, snow and fog
• Reduced glare from vehicles driving from the opposite side.
