The outer illumination switches on if:
•
the light sensor recognizes the low light intensity,
•
no reverse gear is engaged,
•
the operation "tourist light" is not switched on.
The light sensor switches on the full outer illumination at low light intensity.
System AHL* makes it possible to change the length and width of illumination of
the headlight. The length and width of illumination changes automatically in rela-
tion to the vehicle speed and the use of the windscreen wiper.
System AHL* operates in the following modes.
Mode out of town
The mode "out of town" is a basic mode. The dispersion of the cone of light in front
of the vehicle is similar to the low beam. The mode is active if none of the following
modes are active.
Mode rain
In the mode "rain" the dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is wider
and the width of illumination is shorter, so that during bad weather (rain) the
dazzling of the oncoming drivers can be reduced. The mode is activated at speeds
of 15 - 70 km/h and if the windscreen wipers continuously operate for a period of
time longer than 2 minutes. The mode is deactivated when dropping below or
exceeding the set speed limit or if the windscreen wipers have been switched off for
a period of time longer than 8 minutes.
