Active Xenon headlamps*

Active Xenon headlamps are designed to pro-
vide maximum illumination in bends and junc-
tions and so provide increased safety.
Active Xenon headlamps ABL
Headlamp pattern with function deactivated (left)
and activated (right) respectively.
If the car is equipped with active Xenon head-
lamps (Active Bending Lights – ABL) the light
from the headlamps follows the steering
wheel movement in order to provide maxi-
mum lighting in bends and junctions and so
provide increased safety.
The function is activated automatically when
the car is started (provided that it has not
been deactivated in the menu system
MY CAR, see MY CAR (p. 110)). In the event
of a fault in the function the
minates in the combined instrument panel at
the same time as the information display
shows an explanatory text and a further illu-
minated symbol.
