58 Lights and vision
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive light
adaptive light
This feature provides better illumination when you drive
through a corner.
The adaptive light gives better illumination of the bend and the side
of the road when driving through a corner ⇒ fig. 55. The adaptive
light is controlled automatically, depending on the speed of the
vehicle and the steering wheel angle.
The headlights are regulated automatically when you drive through
a corner, depending on how far you turn the steering wheel. To
avoid having a dark spot in front of the vehicle the two headlights
are directed at different angles.
Note
The system is active at speeds from approximately 10 km/h to
110 km/h.

The hazard warning lights are used to make other road
users aware of your vehicle in hazardous situations.
