Active light function

The active light function is a system that
moves the headlamps according to the steer-
ing movements of the front wheels. In this
way, relevant areas remain illuminated while
driving. This allows you to recognise pedes-
trians, cyclists and animals.

direction you are turning, enabling better vis-

ing light function can only be activated when
the dipped-beam headlamps are switched on.
Active:

R
40 km/h and the turn signal is activated or
the steering wheel is turned.
if you are driving at speeds between
R
40 km/h and 70 km/h and turn the steer-
