In order to avoid causing a nuisance
to other road users, this system cor-
rects the height of the xenon head-
lamps beam automatically and when
stationary, in relation to the load in
the vehicle.
If a malfunction occurs, this
warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on
the multifunction screen.
The system then places your headlamps in
the lowest position.
Do not touch the xenon bulbs.
