Adaptive light control 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 40 mph/70 km/h, 
e.g. on mountainous roads or when turning, an 
additional, corner-illuminating lamp is switched 
on that lights up the inside area of the curve.

With the ignition switched on, turn the light 
switch to position 

3, refer to page

. 

The corner-illuminating lamp is switched on 
automatically, depending on the steering wheel 
angle or turn signal indicator.
Standstill function

: to avoid blinding oncoming 

traffic, the adaptive light control directs light 
towards the front passenger side when the 
vehicle is at a standstill.
When you are reversing, only the corner-illumi-
nating lamps are switched on and active on 
both sides.

The LED next to the symbol for automatic head-
lamp control flashes. Adaptive light control is 
malfunctioning or has failed. Have the system 
checked as soon as possible.

when parked.

The roadside parking lamps drain the bat-
tery. Therefore, do not leave them on for 

unduly long periods of time; otherwise, the bat-
tery might not have enough power to start the 
engine.
