additional functions for improved illumination of
the road surface depending on the vehicle speed
or the weather conditions, for example. The light
functions of the system include an active light
function, cornering light function, motorway
mode and extended-range foglamps. The sys-
tem is only active when it is dark.
You can activate or deactivate the "Intelligent
Light System" function using the on-board com-
puter (

Active light function
The active light function is a system that moves
the headlamps according to the steering move-
ments. In this way, relevant areas remain illu-
minated while you are driving. This allows you to
recognise pedestrians, cyclists and animals
sooner.
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 visi-
bility in tight bends, for example. It can only be
activated when the dipped-beam headlamps are
switched on.
Active:
R
If you are driving at speeds below 40 km/h
and switch on the turn signal or turn the steer-
ing wheel.
R
If you are driving at speeds of between
40 km/h and 70 km/h and turn the steering
wheel.
The cornering lamp may remain lit for a short
time, but is automatically switched off after no
more than three minutes.
Motorway mode
Active: if you are driving at speeds above
110 km/h and do not make any large steering
movements for at least 1000 m or 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 illu-
mination of the edge of the carriageway.
Active: if you are driving at speeds below
70 km/h and you switch on the rear foglamp
