illuminates continuously when the
assist is activated, the blue one 7
illuminates when high beam is on.
Control indicator l 3 119.

automatically depending on the
lighting conditions and information
given by the rain sensor system.

Adaptive forward lighting
The Adaptive forward lighting
functions are only available with Bi-
Xenon headlights. Light range, light
distribution and intensity of light are

up to approx. 20 mph. The light beam
is turned at an angle of 8° to the
roadside.
Town lighting Activated automatically at a speed
range between approx. 25 and
34 mph and when street lights are
detected by the light sensor. The light
range is reduced by an extended light
distribution.Country lighting
Activated automatically at a speed
range between approx. 34 and
70 mph. The beam of light and the brightness is different between the
left and the right side.
Motorway lighting
Activated automatically at a speed
above approx. 70 mph and minimal
steering movements. It switches on
after a delay or directly when the
vehicle is powerfully accelerated. The
light beam is longer and brighter.
Adverse weather lighting

sensor recognizes condensation or
the wiper operates continuously. The
range, distribution and light intensity
is regulated variably depending on visibility.

Lighting147Dynamic curve lighting
The light beam pivots based on
steering wheel angle and speed,
improving lighting in curves.
Control indicator f 3 119.
Corner lighting
On tight bends or when turning off,
depending on the steering angle or
the turn signal light, an additional left
or right reflector is switched on which illuminates the road at a right angle to
the direction of travel. It is activated
up to a speed of 25 mph.
Control indicator f 3 119.
Reversing function
If the headlights are on and reverse
gear is engaged, both corner lights
are switched on. They remain
illuminated for 20 seconds after disengaging reverse gear or until
driving faster than 10 mph in a
forward gear.
High Beam Assist This feature allows high beam as
main driving light by night and when
vehicle speed is faster than 25 mph.
It switches to low beam when: ● The camera in the windscreen detects the lights of oncoming or
preceding vehicles.
● The vehicle speed is slower than
12 mph.
● It is foggy or snowy.
● Driving in urban areas.
If there are no restrictions detected,
the system switches back to high
beam.Activation
The high beam assist is activated by
pushing the indicator lever twice with
a speed above 25 mph.
The green control indicator l
illuminates continuously when the
assist is activated, the blue one 7
illuminates when high beam is on.
Control indicator l 3 119.
Deactivation
Push indicator lever once. It is also
deactivated when front fog lights are
switched on.

148LightingIf a headlight flash is activated when
the high beam is on, the high beam
assist will be deactivated.
If a headlight flash is activated when
the high beam is off, the high beam
assist will stay activated.
High beam assist is always active
after the ignition is switched on.
Intelligent light ranging with
automatic high beam activation
Intelligent light ranging uses the
properties of Bi-Xenon headlights to
extend the light range of the low beam by up to 400 metres and additionally
activates automatic high beam
without dazzling or disturbing
oncoming or preceding traffic.
High beam is deactivated and the low
beam light range is reduced to avoid
dazzling when the following
restrictions are detected by the front
camera in the windscreen:
● A preceding vehicle is recognised.
● An oncoming vehicle is recognised.● Urban areas are entered.
● It is foggy or snowy.
If there are no restrictions detected,
the system switches back to high
beam.
When the system is active, the front
camera monitors the area ahead of
the vehicle and ensures an optimum
light distribution for maximum driver
vision during almost all conditions.
Intelligent light ranging with automatic high beam activation therefore
reduces the difference between
conventional low and high beam
without drastic changes in light-
range, distribution and intensity.A special topographical evaluation
function detects preceding vehicles
on hills or slopes by recognising the
rear light moving ahead. The system
adjusts the height of the light range to
ensure optimum illumination on the
road ahead without dazzling.
Activation
Intelligent light ranging and automatic
high beam activation are switched on together by pushing the indicator
lever twice. They can be switched on
with ignition on.
