Function of the bad weather light
The bad weather light reduces reflections in
rainy conditions by dimming individual LEDs in
the headlamps. The driver and other road users
are dazzled less as a result.

sides in urban areas using a broad distribution of
light.

responds pre-emptively to different road heights.

tually constant when you are driving on uphill or
downhill gradients.

on the country.

DIGITAL LIGHT visually expands on the driver
assistance systems by projecting the assistant
displays in front of the vehicle while it is in
motion. DIGITAL LIGHT can therefore help the
driver in critical situations.

on the country.

mented reality, the projections can be deac‐

system. When a border is crossed, the vehi‐
cle will automatically adapt to the valid
requirements.
