Halogen projector headlights with cornering light function
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 41.
For a better cornering illumination, the halogen projector headlights with corner-
ing light function are set in the optimal position in line with the vehicle speed and
the steering angle.
WARNINGIf the halogen projector headlights with cornering light function are faulty, the
headlights are automatically lowered to the emergency position, which pre- vents a possible dazzling of oncoming traffic. Thus the illuminated length of
the road is shortened. Drive carefully and visit a specialist garage as soon as possible.
