140LightingParticular LEDs, based on steeringangle and speed, are additionally
triggered to improve lighting in
curves. This function is activated at
speeds from 25 mph to 43 mph and
reacts to steering angle.
Corner light
When turning off, depending on the
steering angle and the turn signal light, particular LEDs are triggered
which illuminate the direction of
travel. It is activated up to a speed of
25 mph.
Reverse parking function
To assist driver's orientation when
parking, both corner lights and
reversing light illuminate when
headlights are on and reverse gear is engaged. They remain illuminated for
a short time after disengaging reverse gear or until driving faster than
4 mph in a forward gear.
High beam assistThis feature allows the high beam to
function as main driving light at night.
The camera in the windscreen
detects the lights of oncoming or
preceding vehicles. Each LED on
right or left side can be triggered or
faded out particularly according to the traffic situation. This gives the best
light distribution without dazzling
other road users. Once activated,
high beam assist remains active and switches high beam on and off
depending on surrounding
conditions. The latest setting of the
high beam assist will remain after the ignition is switched on again.
High beam assist includes a special
motorway mode. When driving faster
than 71 mph on motorways, the light
beam becomes smaller to avoid
dazzling of oncoming traffic. When
following vehicles ahead or passing,
mirror dazzling for these vehicles is
reduced.
