Cornering light
Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the illumi‐
nation of the roadway over a wide angle in the
turning direction, enabling better visibility on
tight bends, for example. It can be activated only
when the low beam is switched on.
The function is active in the following cases:
R
At speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h) when
the turn signal indicator is switched on or the
steering wheel is turned
R
At speeds between 25 mph (40 km/h) and
45 mph (70 km/h) when the steering wheel
is turned
Traffic circle and intersection function: the
cornering light will be activated on both sides
based on an evaluation of the current GPS posi‐
tion of the vehicle. It will remain active until after
the vehicle has left the traffic circle or the inter‐
section.

WARNING Risk of accident despite
Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not recog‐
nize the following road users:
R
Road users without lights, e.g. pedes‐
trians
R
Road users with poor lighting, e.g.
cyclists
R
Road users whose lighting is obstructed,
e.g. by a barrier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist may fail to recognize other road users
with their own lighting, or may recognize
them too late.
In these or similar situations, the automatic
high beam is not deactivated or is activated
despite the presence of other road users.
#
Always observe the traffic carefully and
switch off the high beam in good time.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist cannot take into
account road, weather or traffic conditions.
Detection may be restricted in the following
cases:
R
In poor visibility, e.g. fog, heavy rain or snow
R
If there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors
are obscured
Adaptive Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You are
responsible for adjusting the vehicle's lighting to
the prevailing light, visibility and traffic condi‐
tions.
