Automatic Driving Light Assistant/
Adaptive Light SystemThe automatic driving light assistant is a comfort
function. Your Porsche’s driving light (low beam) is

the daytime driving lights, the Automatic Coming
Home lights and the dy
namic cornering light.

assistant, it is the responsibility of the driver to

light switch in accordance with the relevant
national regulations.
Activating the headlights using the driving light
assistant therefore does not absolve the driver
of responsibility for correct operation of the
driving light.
