headlight activation. The moment it gets

the vehicle. PDLS takes care of this
automatically in t wo stages. Stage 1 is
the basic position for driving in cit y traffic,

driving at faster speeds, such as on the
motorway. Above 130 km/ h (80 mph),
the range is adapted again.
Another feature of PDLS is the adverse
weather function, activated whenever the
rear fog light is switched on. It reduces
the effect of reflection phenomena in
poor visibilit y conditions to avoid the risk
of the driver being dazzled.
