Light and sight

Cornering light function
The cornering light improves the illumination of
t
he carriageway over a wide angle in the turning
direction, enabling better visibility on tight bends,
for example. The cornering light is activated only
when the low beam is switched on.
The function is active in the following cases:
= At speeds below 40 km/h when the turn sig-
nal light is switched on or the steering wheel
is turned
= At speeds between 40 km/h and 70 km/h
and when the steering wheel is turned Roundabout and junction function:

light will be activated on both sides based on an
evaluation of the vehicle's current GPS position. It
will remain active until aser the vehicle has les
the roundabout or the junction.
Motorway mode function
Motorway mode increases the range and bright-
ness of the cone of light, enabling better visibility. The function will be active if a motorway journey

road driving. The low beam is distributed symmet-
rically and across a wide angle. This makes it eas-
ier to Nnd your way when driving oM-road and to
detect obstacles at an early stage. The active
headlamps are deactivated during this time so
that steering movements do not change the illumi-
nation.
The function is active when the low beam is
switched on if you are not driving at a speed
greater than 50 km/h and the ) ( OMroad)
