Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only
be activated when the dipped-beam head-
lamps are switched on.
Active:
if you are driving at speeds below
R
40 km/h, the cornering light function is
activated either by the turn signal or by the
steering wheel being turned.
if you are driving at speeds between
R
40 km/h and 70 km/h, the cornering light
function is activated by the steering wheel
being turned.
Not active: if you are driving at speeds above
70 km/h or switch off the indicator lamp or
turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead
position.
The cornering light function may remain lit for
a short time, but is automatically switched off
after no more than three minutes.
Motorway mode
Motorway mode increases the range of the
beam.
Active:
if you are driving at speeds above
R
110 km/h and do not make any large steer-
ing movements for 1000 m
if you are driving at speeds above
R
130 km/h
Motorway mode remains active as long as
your speed is 80 km/h or higher.
Not active: once your speed drops below
80 km/h.
Extended range foglamps
The extended range foglamps reduce the
glare experienced by the driver and improve
the illumination of the edge of the carriage-
way.
Active: if you are driving at speeds below
70 km/h and you switch on the rear foglamp
If your speed does not exceed 100 km/h, the
extended foglamp function remains active.
