Dynamic headlight range control
Vehicles with gas discharge lamps ("xenon lamps") are equipped with
dynamic headlight range control. This means that the headlights will be
adjusted to suit the load level of the vehicle and "nodding movements" when
pulling off and braking are automatically compensated for.
Vehicles with gas discharge lamps do not have headlight range control.
Self directional headlights*
When driving around bends the headlights will light the most
important areas of the road.
This cornering light gives better illumination of the side of the road when
driving through a corner. The dynamic lighting is controlled automatically
according to speed and the steering wheel angle.
The two main headlights move at different angles to avoid that the front of the
vehicle is left completely in the dark.
