when turning and driving through curves
An additional bulb in the headlight provides a cornering light@ in
addition to the low beam@:::::, fig. 55. Adaptive Light is switched on
and off automatically depending on driving conditions .
When you activate the turn signal lever, the Adaptive Light for the
same side is switched on. Please note that the turn signal lever must
engage.
Adaptive Light is not switched on if you only move the turn signal
lever to the point of resistance to signal a lane change :::::,
page 67,
"Turn signal ¢i ¢ and high beam lsD lever".
When driving around bends, Adaptive Light is controlled according
to steering wheel angle. • It is switched on in tight corners. • It
is not switched on in long, open bends .
Adaptive Light (in curves)
When driving through curves, the low beams © are automatically
controlled depending on driving speed and the steering wheel
angle.
The two main beams pivot at different angles so that there is no
unilluminated area in front of the vehicle.

• The system works up to a speed of about 43 mph (70 km/h). If the
speed is higher, it is not activated.
• Adaptive Light (in curves) functions at a speed of about 6 mph
(10 km/h) and is deactivated at speeds below about 4 mph
(6 km/h). •
