Automatic headlamp control

Switch position : the low beams are switched
on and off automatically, e.g., in tunnels, in twi‐
light or if there is precipitation. The indicator
lamp in the instrument cluster lights up.
A blue sky with the sun low on the horizon can
cause the lights to be switched on.
The low beams always stay on when the fog
lamps are switched on.

Personal responsibility
The automatic headlamp control cannot

serve as a substitute for your personal judgment
in determining when the lamps should be
switched on in response to ambient lighting
conditions.
For example, the sensors are unable to detect
fog or hazy weather. To avoid safety risks, you
should always switch on the lamps manually un‐
der these conditions.◀

Adaptive light control*

The concept

Adaptive light control is a variable headlamp
control system that enables dynamic illumina‐
tion of the road surface.
Depending on the steering angle and other pa‐
rameters, the light from the headlamp follows
the course of the road.
In tight curves, such as on mountainous roads
or when turning, turning lamps that light up the
inside area of the curve are switched on at
speeds up to approx. 70 km/h, approx. 44 mph.

Controls

Activating

Switch position with the ignition switched
on.
