App lies to veh icles : wi th xenon h ead lights
Xenon headlights
After starting the engine, the xenon headlights are automatically
adjusted to the load and angle of the vehicle (for example, during
acceleration and braking) . This prevents oncoming traffic from expe­
riencing unnecessary headlight glare from your xenon headlights .

Ap plies to vehicles : wit h adap tive light
Adaptive light
When driving around bends, the relevant area of the road
is better illuminated.
Fig. 53 Adaptive light
when driving
The benefit of adaptive light is that the curve and the edge of the road
are better illuminated ~ fig. 53. Dynamic adaptive light is controlled
automatically, depending on vehicle speed and steering wheel angle.
When driving around bends, the headlights are controlled according
to steering wheel angle . So that there is no black hole ahead of the
vehicle, the two main beams pivot at different angles. ..,_
