Adaptive Headlight (AFL)
3
The system provides better illumination of
the road on corners and curves.
Curve lighting
The light beam pivots based on
steering wheel position and speed
(from approx. 10 km/h).
The headlamps shine at an angle of up
to 15 to the right or left of the direction of
travel.
Cornering light
An additional lamp comes on at certain
steering wheel settings (after rotation
of approx. 90), turn signal settings and
speeds (up to approx. 40 km/h).The lamp beam projects at a 90 angle to
the left or right of the vehicle up to a
distance of approx. 30 metres.
Reversing function
Turning the lights on
, selecting reverse
gear and activating the turn signal
activates the cornering light for the
relevant side. When the turn signal is
switched off, the corn ering light continues
to illuminate for 15 seconds.
Adaptive forward lighting 3 3 106.
Diesel particle filter
3
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the exhaust
gases. The system includes a self-cleaning
function that run automatically during
driving. The filter is cleaned by burning off
the soot particles at high temperature.
This process takes place automatically
under set driving conditions and may take
up to 25 minutes. Fuel consumption may
be higher during this period. The emission
of smells and smoke during this process is
normal.
Picture no: 18600S.tif
Under certain driving conditions, e.g. short
journeys, the system may not clean itself
automatically.
If the filter requires cleaning and previous
driving conditions did not enable
automatic cleaning, control indicator !
flashes.
