Intelligent Light System* (bi-xenon
headlamps*)
The Intelligent Light System is a system which
adjusts the headlamps automatically to suit
the prevailing driving and weather conditions.
The bi-xenon headlamps offer enhanced func-
tions to improve illumination of the road sur-
face, e.g. depending on the vehicle speed or
weather conditions. The system includes the
active light function, cornering light function,
motorway mode and extended range fog-
lamps. The system is only active when it is
dark.
You can activate or deactivate the "Intelligent
Light System" using the on-board computer
( page 119).
Y
Active light function
The active light function is a system that
moves the headlamps according to the steer-
ing movements of the front wheels. In this
way, relevant areas remain illuminated while
driving. This allows you to recognise pedes-
trians, cyclists and animals.
