1. A method for controlling a headlight system of a motor vehicle, which can be actuated in at least two control modes, the method comprising:

  • assigning a driving status to each of at least two control modes, wherein each control mode has a predetermined maximum main beam width associated therewith;

    capturing a current driving situation of the motor vehicle on the basis of at least one operating parameter measured locally at the motor vehicle;

    ascertaining when a current control mode matches one of the least two control modes on the basis of the captured current driving situation and at least one temporal parameter; and

    automatically shifting the headlight system into the assigned control mode when the current control mode does not match the assigned control mode so that the predetermined maximum main beam width is adapted to the current driving situation.
