Dynamic cornering light (AFS)
Swivelling lamps automatically improve the lighting of the road when cornering, and even when you
are not driving round a corner. The dynamic cornering light only works at speeds above
approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) and when the dipped beam headlights are switched on.
In vehicles with a corresponding equipment level, the dynamic cornering light can be activated and
deactivated in the Infotainment system in the

Main-beam control
The main-beam control automatically dips the headlights when oncoming vehicles and/or vehicles
driving in front are detected. Main-beam control normally also recognises illuminated areas such as
towns and deactivates main beam while driving through them.
Within the limits of the system, main-beam control automatically switches the main beam on at
speeds of over approximately 60 km/h (37 mph), depending on ambient and traffic conditions, and
switches it off again at speeds under approximately 30 km/h (18 mph)

There are two versions of the main-beam control system:
• Main-beam control (Light Assist). Main-beam control automatically switches main beam on and
off when other road users are detected.
• Advanced main-beam control (Dynamic Light Assist)

Incorrect use of the main beam headlights can lead to accidents and serious injuries as
the main beam headlights can distract and dazzle other road users.
