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, e.g. serpentines, or when turn-
ing, one of the two front fog lamps is also
switched on up to a speed of approx. 45 mph/
70
km/h. This provides improved illumination of
the area inside the curve.

Activating Adaptive Head Light

switch into the automatic headlamp control
position, refer to page 102.
Roadside parking lamps, left or right*
You also enjoy the option of lighting up just one
side of your vehicle when parking.
The turning lamps are automatically switched
on depending on the steering angle or the use
of turn signals.
Switching on
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, both turning lamps are
active.
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

lamp control flashes. Adaptive Head Light is

checked as soon as possible.
Switching off
Briefly press the lever in the opposite direction
