The function is automatically deactivated under
the following conditions:
R
When speeds greater than 100 km/h are
reached.
R
When the rear fog light is switched off.
▌ Function of the bad weather light
The bad weather light reduces reflections in rainy
conditions by dimming individual areas of the
headlamps. The driver and other road users are
dazzled less as a result.
▌ The city lighting function
City lighting improves the illumination of roadsides
in urban areas using a broad distribution of light.
The function is active in the following cases:
R
At low speeds
R
In illuminated parts of urban areas
▌
Function of the off-road light
The off-road light improves illumination during off-
road driving. The low beam is distributed symmet-
rically and across a wide angle, and brightness is
increased slightly. This makes it easier to find your
way when driving off road and to detect obstacles
at an early stage. The active headlamps will be
deactivated during this time so that steering
movements do not change the illumination.
The function is active when the low beam is
switched on if you are not driving at a speed
greater than 50 km/h and the F (Offroad)
drive program has been selected.
▌ Function of the topographical compensation
Based on available map data, the lighting system
responds pre-emptively to different road heights.
This means that the headlamp range remains vir-
tually constant when you are driving on uphill or
downhill gradients.
%
Only vehicles with a multimedia system with
navigation have this function.
▌
Assistance functions of the DIGITAL LIGHT
DIGITAL LIGHT visually expands on the driver
assistance systems by projecting the assistant
displays in front of the vehicle while it is in
motion. DIGITAL LIGHT can therefore help the
driver in critical situations.
% The availability of the functions is dependent
on the country.
%
The assistance functions of the DIGITAL
LIGHT are available on-demand (

page 22).
The system is active in the following cases:
R
The light switch is in the
Ã
position.
R
The high beam is switched on.
%
Depending on the country in which you are
currently driving, certain functions may be
disabled due to different legal requirements,
even if they are enabled in the multimedia
system. When a border is crossed, the vehicle
will automatically adapt to the valid require-
ments.
