140Lighting
It switches to low beam when:■ a sensor detects the lights of oncoming or preceding vehicles
■ the vehicle speed is slower than 20 km/h
■ it is foggy or snowy
■ driving in urban areas
If there are no restrictions detected,
the system switches back to high
beam.
Activation

automatically depending on the
lighting conditions and information
given by the rain sensor system.
Automatic light control 3 139.
Adaptive forward lighting
The Adaptive forward lighting
functions are only available with Bi-
Xenon headlights. Light range, light
distribution and intensity of light are
variably triggered depending on the
light conditions, weather and road
type.

AUTO all lighting functions are
available.
The following functions are available
also with light switch in position 9:
■ Dynamic curve lighting
■ Corner lighting
■ Reversing function
■ Dynamic automatic headlight levelling
Playstreet lighting
Activated automatically at low speed
up to approx. 30 km/h. The light beam is turned at an angle of 8° to the
roadside.
Town lighting
Activated automatically at a speed
range between approx. 40 and
55 km/h and when street lights are
detected by the light sensor. The light
range is reduced by an extended light
distribution.Country lighting
Activated automatically at a speed
range between approx. 55 and
115 km/h. The beam of light and the
brightness is different between the left and the right side.
Motorway lighting

above approx. 115 km/h and minimal
steering movements. It switches on
after a delay or directly when the
vehicle is powerfully accelerated. The
light beam is longer and brighter.
Adverse weather lighting
Activated automatically up to a speed
of approx. 70 km/h, when the rain
sensor recognises condensation or
the wiper operates continuously. The
range, distribution and light intensity
is regulated variably depending on visibility.Dynamic curve lighting
The light beam pivots based on
steering wheel angle and speed,
improving lighting in curves.
Control indicator f 3 116.
Corner lighting
On tight bends or when turning off,
depending on the steering angle or
the turn signal light, an additional left
or right reflector is switched on which illuminates the road at an right angle
to the direction of travel. It is activated
