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.

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.
