Lighting

wide and symmetrical. If the speed is

below 30 mph, the headlamps are

slightly swiveled to the outside to

allow an earlier recognition of of

pedestrians and objects on each side

of the road. A special beam pattern is

designed to avoid glare for other road

users.

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

40 km/h.

Adverse weather light

Controlled by wiper or rain sensor and

activated at rain and snowfall. The

wide light distribution – slightly

swiveled to the outside – enables

improved orientation at the edge of

the road. The intensity of the light in

the far distance is increased in order

to recognize objects and markings on

the right road side and obstacles on

the lane despite the weather

condition. Lowering the reflection on

wet roads reduces dazzling of

oncoming traffic. Adverse weather

light is activated up to a speed to

70 km/h.

Curve light

Particular LEDs, based on steering

angle and speed, are additionally

triggered to improve lighting in

curves. This function is activated at

speeds from 40 km/h to 70 km/h and

reacts to steering angle.

High beam assist

This 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

Lighting

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 115 km/h 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.

Activation

Activate the high beam assist by

pressing f on the turn and lane

change lever. The LED of the button

illuminates if the high beam assist is

activated. High beam is switched on

automatically at a speed above

25 km/h. High beam is switched off at

a speed below 15 km/h, but high

beam assist remains active.
The green control indicator f

illuminates continuously when the

high beam assist is activated, the blue

one 7 illuminates when high beam is

on.

Control indicator f 3 100, 7

100.

Pressing indicator lever once

switches on instruction high beam

without high beam assist.
High beam assist switches

automatically to low beam when:

● Driving in urban areas.
● Camera detects heavy fog.
● Front or rear fog lights are

switched on.

If there are no restrictions detected,

the system switches back to high

beam.

Deactivation

Deactivate the high beam assist by

pressing f on the turn and lane

change lever
If a headlight flash is activated when

the high beam assist is activated and

low beam is on, the high beam assist

will be deactivated. The system

changes to high beam.

120

Lighting

If a headlight flash is activated when

the high beam assist is activated and

high beam is on, the high beam assist

will be deactivated. The system

changes to low beam.
To reactivate the high beam assist,

flash the headlights again.

Fault in LED headlight system

When the system detects a failure in

the LED headlight system, it selects a

preset position to avoid dazzling of

oncoming traffic. A warning is

displayed in the Driver Information

Centre.

Hazard warning flashers

Operated by pressing ¨.
When braking in an emergency, the

hazard warning flashers are switched

on automatically depending on the

force of deceleration. They are

switched off automatically the first

time you accelerate.

Turn and lane-change

signals

lever up

: right turn signal

lever down : left turn signal
A resistance point can be felt by

moving the lever.
Move the lever past the resistance

point to switch on constantly. When

the steering wheel moves opposite,

the turn signal is automatically

deactivated. Switch off instructionly by

moving the lever to its original

position.
Tap shortly to switch on for three

flashes, e.g., when changing lanes.

Lighting

121

Move the lever to the resistance point

and hold for flashing until lever is

released.
If you forget to cancel the turn and

lane-change signals for more than

twenty seconds, the volume of the

audible signal will increase if the

speed is above 60 km/h.
