Adaptive Head Light* The concept Adaptive Head Light is a variable headlamp control system that enables better illumination of the road surface. Depending on the steering angle and other parameters, the light from the headlamp follows the course of the road. In tight curves at speeds up to approx. 45 mph/ 70 km/h, e.g. on mountainous roads or when turning, turning lamps are switched on that light up the inside area of the curve. High beams/ roadside parking lamps Activating Adaptive Head Light With the ignition switched on, turn the light switch into the automatic headlamp control position, refer to page 107. The turning lamps are automatically switched on depending on the steering angle or the use of turn signals. To avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the Adaptive Head Light directs light towards the front passenger side when the vehicle is at a standstill. When driving in reverse, only the turning lamps are active and illuminate the outer area of curves. 2 3 Headlamp flasher Roadside parking lamps Roadside parking lamps, left or right* You also enjoy the option of lighting up just one side of your vehicle when parking: Switching on After parking the vehicle, press the lever up or down beyond the resistance point, arrow 3.
