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, e.g. serpentines, or when turning, one of the two front fog lamps is also switched on up to a speed of approx. 45 mph/ 70 km/h. This provides improved illumination of the area inside the curve. 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 for approx. 1 second, arrow 3. The roadside parking lamps drain the battery. Do not leave them switched on for long periods of time, otherwise it may no longer be possible to start the engine.< Activating Adaptive Head Light With the ignition switched on, turn the light switch to position 3, refer to page 99. 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, both turning lamps are active. Switching off Briefly press the lever in the opposite direction up to the resistance point, arrow 3. Fog lamps* Navigation First, switch on the parking lamps or the low beams. The green indicator lamp in the instrument panel lights up whenever the fog lamps are on. If the automatic headlamp control is activated, the low beams will come on automatically when you switch on the fog lamps.< Reference Mobility Communications Entertainment High beams/ roadside parking lamps 1 2 3 High beams Headlamp flasher Roadside parking lamps 101 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 015 021 - © 11/07 BMW AG Driving tips Controls At a glance
