Abstract
A method for switching on a high-beam headlight of a vehicle includes: a step of receiving high-beam information by way of an interface, the high-beam information indicating a possibility of a glare-free operation of the high-beam headlight; a step of determining a traveled distance of the vehicle in response to receiving the high-beam information, and a step of supplying switch-on information for activating the high-beam headlight if the traveled distance after receiving the high-beam information is greater than a predefined minimum distance.
