Cornering light
Cornering light function
The cornering light improves the illumination of
the road over a wide angle in the turning direc‐
tion, enabling better visibility on tight curves, 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 light 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

& WARNING Risk of accident despite
Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not react to:
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 in similar situations, the auto‐
matic high beam will not be deactivated or
will be activated despite the presence of
other road users.
#
Always observe the road and traffic
conditions 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.
