Adaptive Head Light*
The concept
Adaptive Head Light is a variable headlamp
control system that enables dynamic illumi-
nation of the road surface. Depending on
the steering angle and other assumptions,
the light from the headlamp follows the
course of the road.
Activating Adaptive Head Light
With the ignition on, refer to
page
62 , turn the light switch to the
position 'Automatic headlamp con-
trol', refer to page 100 .
To avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the
Adaptive Head Light:
> Is not active when driving in reverse
> Is only active toward the passenger's
side with the vehicle stationary.
