The 911 Carrera models are equipped

as standard with Bi ­Xenon headlights
including a headlight cleaning system
and dynamic range control. With dipped
or main beam, the road ahead is
illuminated more uniformly.
The LED front light units incorporate
direction indicators, daytime running
lights and position lights.
Automatic headlight activation is also
included as standard. The moment it gets
dark, the daytime running lights switch
off and the dipped beam headlights
switch on automatically.
Cut ting edge LED technology is also
used for the taillights, the high ­level third
brake light, the licence plate illumination,
the rear direction indicators, the rear fog
light and – on all ­wheel ­drive models –
the rear light strip. LEDs provide bet ter
illumination and respond more quickly
to driver input. In the event of sudden
braking, the adaptive LED brake lights
begin to pulsate. If the vehicle is braked
to a halt, the hazard warning lights will switch on automatically, alerting following
traffic more quickly to a critical situation.
The lighting system features an automa­
tic
switch
­off and the ‘Welcome Home’
function. It ’s good to know what ’s around
the next corner or on the way to your
front door.

Put simply, the road ahead is illuminated
the moment you enter a bend.
The system also of fers speed ­sensitive
headlight range control. With adaptive
light systems, it is possible for the maxi ­

automatically in t wo stages. Stage 1 is
the basic position for driving in cit y traffic,
for example. Stage 2 is designed for
driving at faster speeds, such as on the
motorway. Above 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.
