Intelligent Light System
Active light function
The active light function is a system that
moves the headlamps according to the steer-
ing movements of the front wheels. In this
way, relevant areas remain illuminated while
driving. This allows you to recognise pedes-
trians, cyclists and animals.
Active: when the lights are switched on.
Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only
be activated when the dipped-beam head-
lamps are switched on.
Active: if you are driving at speeds below
40 km/h and switch on the turn signals or
turn the steering wheel.
Not active: if you are driving at speeds above
40 km/h or switch off the turn signal or turn
the steering wheel to the straight-ahead posi-
tion.
The cornering light function may remain lit for
a short time, but is automatically switched off
after no more than three minutes.
Motorway mode
Motorway mode increases the range of the
beam.
Active:
R
if you are driving at speeds above
110 km/h and do not make any large steer-
ing movements for 1000 m
R
if you are driving at speeds above
130 km/h
Not active: if you are driving at speeds below
80 km/h following activation.
Extended range foglamps
The extended range foglamps reduce the
glare experienced by the driver and improve
the illumination of the edge of the carriage-
way.
