Curve and cornering lights
On tight bends or when turning off,
depending on the steering angle or
the indicator light signal, an additional left or right reflector is switched on
which illuminates the road in the
direction of travel. It is activated up to
a speed of 70 km/h.
Town light
Activated automatically at a speed up to approx. 55 km/h. In situations with
exterior ambient light both cornering lights are switched on with reduced
intensity. The light is wide and
symmetrical.
Country light
Activated automatically at a speed
range between approx. 55 and
180 km/h. The beam of light and the
brightness is different between the left and the right side.
High beam assist This feature allows high beam to
function as the main driving light at
night and when vehicle speed
exceeds 40 km/h.
It switches automatically to low beam
when:
● The camera or a sensor in the windscreen detects the lights of
oncoming or preceding vehicles.
● The vehicle speed drops below 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.
