BMW 2006 X3 3.0i SAV Manual Do Proprietário

Automatic headlamp control cannot
serve as a substitute for the driver's judg-

ment in determining when the vehicle lamps
should be switched on. For example, the sys-
tem cannot detect fog or hazy weather. To
avoid safety risks, you should always switch on
the lamps manually under these conditions.

You can have the sensitivity of the head-
lamp control adjusted.

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 assumptions, the light from the
headlamp follows the course of the road.

Activating Adaptive Head Light

In ignition position 2, turn the light
switch into the automatic headlamp
control position, refer to page

The LED next to the symbol lights up.
In order not to blind oncoming traffic, the Adap-
tive Head Light is not active when driving in
reverse and only points toward the passenger
side when the vehicle is stationary.

Malfunction

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

You also have the option of lighting up just one

The roadside parking lamps drain the bat-
tery. For this reason, avoid using them for

extended periods; otherwise, it may no longer
be possible to start the engine.

on/off.

The parking lamps or low beams must
be switched on for the fog lamps to
