S-bend lights
The beams are kept as straight as possible when
driving around S-bends.
Hairpin lights
The cornering light is also switched on before
entering hairpin bends.
Variable light distribution
Principle
The variable light distribution enables better illu‐
mination of the road.
General
The light distribution is automatically adapted ac‐
cording to navigation data and speed.
Urban lights
The light beam from the low-beam headlight is
extended at the sides.
Motorway beam pattern
The range of the low-beam headlight is in‐
creased.
Cornering light
Principle
When turning off or on tight bends, for example
hairpin bends, up to a certain speed, a cornering
light is added to illuminate the inside area of the
bend.
General
The cornering light is switched on automatically
depending on the steering wheel angle or, where
applicable, activation of the turn indicators.

Lights
When reversing, the cornering light is activated
automatically as appropriate, irrespective of the
steering wheel angle.
Roundabout light
Shortly before driving onto a roundabout, the
cornering light is activated on both sides. The
edge of the road is illuminated more effectively.
Shortly before leaving a roundabout, the corner‐
ing light is switched off again on both sides.
Adaptive headlight range
control
Adaptive headlight range control compensates
for acceleration and braking manoeuvres and ve‐
hicle load conditions to prevent oncoming vehi‐
cles from being dazzled.
High beam assistant
Principle
High-beam Assistant detects other road users in
good time and activates or deactivates the high
beam according to traffic situation.
General
High beam assistant ensures that the high-beam
headlights are switched on when the traffic situa‐
tion allows. The system does not switch on the
high-beam headlights at low speeds.
The system responds to the lights from oncom‐
ing traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to
ambient lighting, for example in built-up areas.
The high-beam headlights can be switched on
and off manually at any time.
If Selective Beam is installed, the high-beam
headlights are not switched off for oncoming ve‐
hicles or vehicles driving ahead of you. Instead,
the system masks only those areas of the beam
