Bi-xenon headlights
Bi-xenon headlights are installed with the
"XenonPlus" option.
The following lamps are fitted in the bi-xenon
headlight:
– A blue W5W lamp for the parking light.
The colour of the parking light thus corresponds
to the xenon light.
– A D2S lamp for high beam headlight, headlight
flasher and dipped beam headlight. The covers
fo r d i p p ed b e am a re al s o a c t i v at e d fo r h i gh b ea m
and headlight flasher operation.
– A P21W lamp for the daytime driving light.
This comes on dimmed to 90 %.
– A PY21W bulb coated with a reflecting layer of
silver is used as the direction indicator light.
Only longlife lamps are used. A super-longlife
lamp is used as the daytime driving light.
The following country-specific variants exist:
– No daytime driving lamp is fitted for Japan.
– 3457NA flasher lamps are used for USA and
Canada.
The headlights are changed over to left-hand drive
via a lever on the projection module.
A dynamic headlight range control system is
installed for bi-xenon headlights.
The dynamic headlight range control system uses
the well-known level sensors. This send the
information about the vehicle level to the control
unit for headlight range control J431 via a pulse
width-modulated signal.
The same level sensor is fitted on both the front and
rear axle.
Headlights are also available with dynamic
corner-sensitive lights.

Adaptive light
The adaptive light works as a dynamic corner-
sensitive headlight. With the dynamic cornering
headlight, the headlight projection module is
pivoted horizontally by an integrated motor.
The headlight lenses and the bracket do not turn.
The pivot angle is approx. 15° on the inner curve
side and 7.5° on the outer curve side.
The various pivot angles have advantages in that
they provide better lighting for corner routes.
In this case, the inner-curve module pivots in twice
as much as the outer-curve module.
This achieves the maximum possible illumination
width with homogeneous light distribution.
No pivoting when vehicle is stationary
The projection modules are not pivoted at driving
speeds of < 6 km/h.
The pivot angle essentially depends on the steering
wheel angle at speeds of more than 10 km/h.
This complies with the legal requirement that the
headlights must not be pivoted when the vehicle is
stationary. At the same time, a slight transition to
headlight pivoting occurs during acceleration from
idle when the steering lock remains constant.

Internal structure
The pivot angle is monitored by an inductive pickup
in the pivot module. The pickup value is evaluated
immediately in the relevant power module for
headlights as a pulse width-modulated signal.
If the motor or pickup does not function, the power
module sends an error message to the control unit
for headlight range control J431.
This is communicated to the driver in a display in
dash panel insert J285.
The same lamps that are used in the bi-xenon
headlight are also used in the adaptive light
headlight.
CAN Communication
The values marked with (*) are used as input
variables in calculating the pivot angle.
All other input variables are only needed for
dynamic headlight range control.

Signal and data exchange
The same sensors that are used for dynamic
headlight range control for bi-xenon headlights are
also used as level sensors. They send a pulse
width-modulated signal to the control unit for
headlight range control. Data is exchanged between
t h e c o n t ro l u n i t fo r h e ad l i gh t ra n g e c o n tro l J 4 3 1 an d
the power modules in the headlight on the left J667
and right J668 via a 500-kBaud CAN.
Show Room function
The Show Room function can be used to pivot the
headlights by moving the steering wheel – even
when the vehicle is stationary – for presentation.
The function can be adapted using the diagnosis
tester in the control unit for headlight beam
adjustment.
If the vehicle is then driven at more than 30 km/h,
the function is permanently disabled. The function
can be switched on again at any time using the
diagnosis tester.
