tLight System
General notes The Intelligent Light System is
asystem that
adjusts the headlamps automatically to suit the
prevailing driving and weather conditions. It
offers advanced functions for improved illumi-
nation of the road surface, e.g. depending on the vehicle speed or weather conditions. The sys-
tem includes the active light function, cornering light function, motorway mode, extended range
foglamps and off-road lights. The system is only
active when it is dark.
You can activate or deactivate the "Intelligent
Light System" function using the on-board com- puter (Y page 247).
Active light function The active light function is
asystem that moves
the headlamps according to the steerin gmove-
mentsoft he front wheels. In this way, relevant
areas remain illuminated while you are driving.
This allows you to recognise pedestrians,
cyclists and animals.
Active: when the lights are switched on.
Cornering light function The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over
awide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better visi-
bility in tight bends, for example. It can only be
activated when the dipped-beam headlamps are
switched on.
Active:
R if you are driving at speeds below 40 km/h
and switch on the turn signal or turn the steer- ing wheel
R if you are driving at speeds between 40 km/h
and 70 km/ha nd turnthe steering wheel
The cornering light function may remain lit for a
shor ttime, but is automatically switched off
after no mor ethant hree minutes. Motorwa
ymode Active:

11 0k m/ hand do no tmakea ny large steering
movements for at least 1000 morify ou are
driving at aspee dabov e130 km/h.
Not active: if you are driving at speeds below
80 km/h followin gactivation.
Extended range foglamps The extended range foglamps reduc
ethe glare
experienced by th edriver and improve th eillu-
minatio noftheedge of th ecarriageway.
Active: if you are driving at speeds below
70 km/h and you switch on th erear foglamp.
Not active: if, followingactivation ,you are driv-
ing at speeds abov e100 km/h or if you switch
off th erear foglamp. Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus
General notes Wit
hA daptiv eHighbeam Assist Plus, you can
automatically switch between dipped-beam,
partial main-beam and main-beam headlamps.
Partial main-beam illuminatio nisaformofi llu-
minatio nwhereby th emain beam is directed
past other road users. Other road user sare kept
out of th emain-beam. This prevent sglare .If
there is avehicle in front, for example, th emain-
beam headlamps illuminate th eareas to its right
and left ,and th evehicle in fron tisilluminate dby
th ed ipped-beam headlamps.
The system automatically adapt sthe dipped-
beam headlam prange dependin gonthedis-
tance to th eother vehicle .Oncet he system no
longer detect sany other vehicles, it switches on
th em ain-beam headlamps again.
If th emain-beam or partial main-beam head-
lamps are causing to omuchr eflectio nfromt raf-
fic signs, th elight sare automatically dimmed
and glare for th edriver caused by th ereflections
is thus avoided.
