This is a system consisting of LED (low/high beam)
headlights that incorporate dynamic cornering with
5-degree inboard/15-degree outboard swivel. The
headlights continuously and automatically adapt to the
driving conditions around bends or when cornering based
on steering wheel angle.
The system directs the headlights to light up the road in
the best way, taking into account the speed of the vehicle
and the bend or corner angle, as well as the speed of the
vehicle while the steering wheel is being turned.
The adaptive lights are automatically activated when the
vehicle is traveling above approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).
This system can be turned on/off through the Uconnect
Settings under “Steering Directed Lights”
