ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING
SYSTEM (LED HEADLIGHT
ONLY) (IF EQUIPPED)
The Adaptive Front Lighting System is a sys-
tem that adjusts the headlights automatically
to suit the prevailing driving and weather
conditions. It offers advanced functions for
improved illumination of the road surface,
e.g. depending on the vehicle speed or
weather conditions. The system includes the
active light function, cornering 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
vehicle information display (see "Switching
the Adaptive Front Lighting System on/off"
earlier in this section)
Active light function
The active light function is a system that
moves the headlights according to the steer-
ing movements of the front wheels. In this
way relevant areas remain illuminated while
you are driving. This helps you to recognize
pedestrians, cyclists and animals. It is active
when the lights are switched on.
Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the il-
lumination of the road over a wide angle in
the direction you are turning, enabling better
visibility in tight bends, for example. It can
only be activated when the low-beam head-
lights 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.

force. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of po-
sition in any way, you are at greater risk
of injury or death in a crash. You may

the air bag if you are up against it when
it inflates. Always sit back against the
seatback and as far away as practical
from the steering wheel. Always use the
seat belts. Release the lock lever
1as illustrated and
adjust the steering wheel to the desired posi-
tion (up or down
