Controls and features

Adaptive headlights*The conceptAdaptive headlights is a variable head-
lamp control system for dynamically
illuminating the road. Depending on the
steering angle and other factors the
light from the headlamps follows the
course of the road.Activating Adaptive headlights
With the ignition key in position
2, turn the light switch to the
automatic headlamp control
position, refer to page 85. The LED next
to the symbol lights up.
To avoid blinding oncoming traffic,
adaptive headlights are
>not active while reversing,
>active only towards the front passen-
ger side while the vehicle is at a
standstill.
System malfunctionThe LED next to the symbol for auto-
matic headlamp control flashes. The
adaptive headlight system is malfunc-
tioning or out of order. Have the system
checked as soon as possible.

nation intensity.
