to other road users, this system cor-
rects the height of the xenon head-
lamps beam automatically and when
stationary, in relation to the load in
the vehicle. If a malfunction occurs,
this warning lamp is
displayed on the instru-
ment panel, accom-
panied by an audible
signal and a message on the multi-

considerably improves the quality of
your lighting when cornering.
