Adaptive light functions
Principle
Adaptive light functions enable dynamic illumina‐
tion of the road.
General information
The adaptive light functions may consist of one
system or multiple systems, depending on the
equipment version:
▷ Adaptive Light Control.
▷ Cornering light.
Activating
Press the button on the light switch ele‐
ment.
The LED in the button lights up.
The adaptive light functions are active when the
drive-ready state is switched on.
Adaptive Light Control
General information
Depending on the steering angle and other pa‐
rameters, the light from the headlight follows the
course of the road.
To avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the Adaptive
Light Control does not swivel to the opposite
lane when the vehicle is at a standstill.
Cornering light
Principle
In tight curves, for instance on mountainous
roads or when turning, an additional, cornering
light is switched on that lights up the inside of
the curve when the vehicle is moving below a
certain speed.
General information
The cornering light is automatically switched on
depending on the steering angle or, where appli‐
cable, the use of turn signals.
When driving in reverse, the cornering lights may
be automatically switched on regardless of the
steering angle.
Adaptive headlight range
control
The adaptive headlight range control feature bal‐
ances out acceleration and braking processes as
well as the vehicle load conditions in order to
avoid blinding oncoming traffic.
Automatic High Beam
Assistant
Principle
The Automatic High Beam Assistant detects
other road users early on and automatically
switches the high beams on or off depending on
the traffic situation.
General information
The Automatic High Beam Assistant ensures
that the high beams are switched on, whenever
the traffic situation allows. In the low speed
range, the high beams are not switched on by
the system.
The system responds to light from oncoming
traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to am‐
bient lighting, for instance in towns and cities.
The high beams can be switched on and off
manually at any time.
