Headlights for hairpin bends
The cornering light is also switched on before
entering hairpin bends.
Variable light distribution
Principle
Variable light distribution illuminates the road
even more effectively.
General
The light distribution is automatically adapted to
the speed.
If equipment includes a navigation system, the
light distribution is automatically adapted de‐
pending on the navigation data and speed.
City light
The light beam from the low-beam headlights is
extended at the sides.
Motorway beam pattern
The range of the low-beam headlights is in‐
creased.
Cornering light
In sharp turns up to a specified speed, for exam‐
ple in hairpin bends or when turning off, a corner‐
ing light is added to illuminate the inside area of
the bend.
The cornering light is activated automatically de‐
pending on the steering angle or, where appro‐
priate, use of the turn indicators.
When reversing, the cornering light is activated
automatically as appropriate, irrespective of the
steering angle.
Roundabout light
Shortly before driving onto a roundabout, the
cornering light on both sides is switched on. The
edge of the road is illuminated more effectively.
Shortly before leaving a roundabout, the corner‐
ing light on both sides is switched off again.
Adaptive headlight beam
throw adjustment
Adaptive headlight beam throw adjustment com‐
pensates for acceleration and braking manoeu‐
vres and vehicle load conditions to prevent on‐
coming vehicles from being dazzled. Illumination
of the road is optimised.
High-beam assistance
Principle
High-beam assistance detects other road users
in good time and activates or deactivates the
high beam depending on the traffic situation.
General
High-beam assistance ensures that the high-
beam headlights are switched on when the traffic
situation allows. The system does not switch on
the high-beam headlights at low speeds.
The system responds to the lights from oncom‐
ing traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to
ambient lighting, for example in built-up areas.
The high-beam headlights can be switched on
and off manually at any time.
If the no-dazzle high beam assistant is installed,
the high-beam headlights are not switched off
for oncoming vehicles or vehicles driving ahead
of you. The system only masks those areas of
the beam which would otherwise dazzle oncom‐
ing traffic or traffic driving ahead. In this case, the
blue indicator lamp continues to illuminate.
