Adaptive Head Light*
The principle
Adaptive Head Light is a variable headlight con-
trol system that optimises the illumination of
the road ahead as the car corners. The light
cones from the headlights are directed to suit
the road ahead on the basis of steering angle
and other parameters.
During sharp turns at speeds up to approx.
70 km/h, approx. 45 mph, e.g. in hairpin bends
or when cornering, a cornering light is added
that illuminates the inside area of the bend.
Activating Adaptive Head Light
With the ignition on, turn the light switch to
position
3 , see page 79 .
The cornering light is added automatically
depending on the steering angle or turn signal
indicators.
Stationary function
*
: to avoid dazzling the driv-
ers of oncoming vehicles, the Adaptive Head
Light feature directs light towards the front pas-
senger's side when the car is at standstill.
When you are driving in reverse, only the cor-
nering light is active, lighting up the outside
area of the bend.
