to approx. 34 mph and in situations
with exterior ambient light. The light is wide and symmetrical. A special
beam pattern is designed to avoid
glare for other road users.
Country light
Activated automatically at a speed
above approx. 34 mph when driving
in rural areas. The illumination of the current lane and the side of the roadis improved. Oncoming and
preceding vehicles are not dazzled.

Particular LEDs, based on steering
angle and speed, are additionally
triggered to improve lighting in
curves. This function is activated at
speeds from 25 mph to 43 mph and
reacts to steering angle.
Corner light
When turning off, depending on the
steering angle and the turn signal light, particular LEDs are triggered
which illuminate the direction of
travel. It is activated up to a speed of
25 mph.
Reverse parking function
To assist driver's orientation when
parking, both corner lights and
reversing light illuminate when
headlights are on and reverse gear is engaged. They remain illuminated for
a short time after disengaging reverse gear or until driving faster than
4 mph in a forward gear.
High beam assistThis feature allows the high beam to
function as main driving light at night.
The camera in the windscreen
detects the lights of oncoming or
preceding vehicles. Each LED on
right or left side can be triggered or
faded out particularly according to the traffic situation. This gives the best
light distribution without dazzling
other road users. Once activated,
high beam assist remains active and switches high beam on and off
depending on surrounding
conditions. The latest setting of the
high beam assist will remain after the ignition is switched on again.

Lighting139Parking lights

The embedded speech recognition of the Infotainment system enables
operation of various functions of the
Infotainment system via voice input. It
recognises commands and numeric
sequences. The commands and
numeric sequences can be spoken
without a voice pause between the
individual words.
In the event of incorrect operation or
commands, the speech recognition
gives visual and / or acoustic
feedback and requests to re-enter the desired command. Apart from this,
the speech recognition
acknowledges important commands
and will enquire if necessary.
In general, there are different ways to
speak commands for performing the
