If desired, the light switch can remain in posi-

tion 0, 1 or 3.

matically switched off after the vehicle is

Adaptive Head Light*

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.

Activating Adaptive Head Light

In switch position 3, the Adaptive Head Light is

active and the automatic headlamp control

is

switched on, refer to page 83.

To avoid dazzling oncoming traffic, the Adap-

tive Head Light is not active when driving in

reverse and points toward the passenger side

when the vehicle is stopped.

tion 3 up to the resistance point.

High-beam assistant*

The concept

This system automatically switches the high

beams on and off again. A sensor on the front of

the inside rearview mirror controls the process.

The assistant ensures that the high beams are

switched on whenever the traffic situation

allows. This reduces the strain on you while at

the same time providing you with the best pos-

sible visibility. Of course, you can intervene at
