ness of the cone of light, enabling better visibility.

headlamps. The driver and other road users are
dazzled less as a result.

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.
