Automatic driving lights control*

When the switch is in position

1, the low-beam

headlights are switched on and off automati-
cally depending on ambient light conditions,
e.g. in a tunnel, twilight, and in precipitation.
Adaptive Head Light

is active. When the low-

beam headlights are on, the LED next to the
symbol is lit.
When driving into brightly illuminated tunnels,
there may be a delay before the headlights
switch on.
The headlights may also switch on when the
sun is sitting low on a blue sky.

The low-beam headlights remain
switched on irrespective of the ambient

light conditions if you switch on the fog lights

For daytime driving lights,

the low-beam head-

lights always come on with the switch in this
position when the ignition is switched on.

The driving lights control function is no
substitute for your individual judgement

of when it is necessary to switch on the lights.
The sensors are unable, for instance, to recog-
nise fog or hazy weather. In such situations,
switch on the lights manually to avoid any safety
risk.

Adaptive Head Light*

Principle

Adaptive Head Light is a variable headlight con-
trol system that makes it possible to illuminate
the road surface more effectively. The light
cones from the headlights are directed to suit
the road ahead on the basis of steering angle
and other parameters.

Activating Adaptive Head Light

In switch position

1, Adaptive Head Light is

active and automatic driving lights control is
switched on.
To avoid dazzling the drivers of oncoming vehi-
cles, Adaptive Head Light is not active when the
car is reversing and directs the light to the front
passenger's side when the car is at a standstill.

Malfunction

The LED next to the symbol for automatic driv-
ing lights control flashes. Adaptive Head Light
is faulty or has failed. Have the system checked
as soon as possible.

Headlight beam throw

adjustment

Halogen lights

The beam throw of the low-beam headlights
must be adjusted manually to suit the load car-
ried in the car, otherwise the drivers of oncom-
ing vehicles could be dazzled.
