ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM
(LED HEADLIGHT ONLY) (IF EQUIPPED)
The Adaptive Front Lighting System is a system
that adjusts the headlights 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
system includes the active light function, cor-
nering light function and freeway mode. The
system is only active when it is dark.
You can activate or deactivate the “Adaptive
Front Lighting System” function using the ve-
hicle information display (seeSwitching the
Adaptive Front Lighting System on/offearlier in
this section)
NIC2618

Active light function
The active light function is a system that moves
the headlights according to the steering move-
ments of the front wheels. In this way relevant
areas remain illuminated while you are driving.
This helps you to recognize pedestrians, cy-
clists and animals. It is active when the lights
are switched on.
Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only be
activated when the low-beam headlights are
switched on. It is active if you are driving at
speeds below 25 MPH (40 km/h) and switch on
the turn signal or turn the steering wheel.
The cornering light function may remain lit for a
short time, but is automatically switched off
after no longer than three minutes.
Freeway mode
Freeway mode adjusts the light beam to reduce
the amount of light that shines on the opposite
lane of the freeway, and oncoming traffic.
Freeway mode is active if you are driving at a
speed above 68 MPH (110 km/h) and do not
make any large steering movements for at least
3300 ft (1000 m) or if you are driving at a speed
above 81 MPH (130 km/h).
It is not active if you are driving at speeds below
50 MPH (80 km/h) following activation.
