Adaptive light control*

High beams/roadside parking

lamps*

The concept

Adaptive light control 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 40 mph/70 km/h,

e.g. on mountainous roads or when turning, an

additional, corner-illuminating lamp is switched

on that lights up the inside area of the curve.

High-beam assistant*

The concept

This system automatically switches the high

beams on and off. The procedure is controlled

by a sensor on the front of the interior rearview

mirror. The assistant ensures that the high

beams are switched on whenever the traffic sit-

uation allows. It handles this task for you and

gives you the benefit of the best possible view.
