Adaptive Head Light*
High beams/
roadside parking lamps
The concept
Adaptive Head Light is a variable headlamp
control system that enables better illumination
of the road surface. Depending on the steering
angle and other parameters, the light from the
headlamp follows the course of the road.
In tight curves at speeds up to approx. 45 mph/
70 km/h, e.g. on mountainous roads or when
turning, turning lamps are switched on that light
up the inside area of the curve.

Roadside parking lamps
With the ignition switched on, turn the light
switch into the automatic headlamp control
position, refer to page 91.
Roadside parking lamps, left or right*
The turning lamps are automatically switched
on depending on the steering angle or the use
of turn signals.
You also enjoy the option of lighting up just one
side of your vehicle when parking:
To avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the Adaptive
Head Light directs light towards the front pas-
senger side when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When driving in reverse, only the turning lamps
are active and illuminate the outer area of
curves.
Switching on
After parking the vehicle, press the lever up or
down beyond the resistance point, arrow 3.
The roadside parking lamps drain the bat-
tery. Do not leave them switched on for
long periods of time, otherwise it may no longer
be possible to start the engine.<
Malfunction
The LED next to the symbol for automatic head-
lamp control flashes. Adaptive Head Light is
malfunctioning or has failed. Have the system
checked as soon as possible.
Switching off
Briefly press the lever in the opposite direction
up to the resistance point, arrow 3.
