ically. If the vehicle changes lanes, the illumi-
nated range is extended to both lanes for the
duration of the manoeuvre.
●
Orientation light: If the system has detec-
ted road works or sections of narrow road,
the orientation light uses markings to approxi-
mately show the likely position of the vehicle
in its lane, depending on the current steering
angle. The width of the markings corresponds
approximately to the width of the vehicle, but
does not reproduce it exactly. The length of
markings is automatically adjusted according
to speed and distance to vehicles in front.
These functions can be activated and deacti-
vated from Vehicle settings in the infotainment
system .
