LED headlights
Read and observe
on page 65 first.
The LED headlights (hereinafter referred to as just system) use the journey da-ta to automatically ensure the best possible light cone in front of the vehicle.
The system will automatically operate in the following modes: urban, extra-ur-
ban, highway and mist. The static corning light provides for the illumination of
the road in the curve.
The system works as long as the light switch is in position 
.
WARNINGIf there is a system malfunction the headlights are automatically lowered
to the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Seek help from
a specialist garage.

WARNINGThe system is used only for support, thus the driver is not released from his
obligation to manually adjust the main or low beam according to the given
ambient conditions (e.g. in unfavourable lighting and weather conditions,
as when passing poorly lit road users, if necessary, when the visual range
of the sensor is limited by an obstacle).
