ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHT
with Adaptive Lights
How do the adaptive
headlights work?
The standard installed dimming
unit in the headlight consists
of two reflectors that gener-
ate low-beam headlights us-
ing LED. Ride height sensors
at the front and rear wheel
suspension provide data for
continuous headlight range
control. Thanks to the pitching
compensation, the light always
illuminates the optimal, preset
area when riding on straight
stretches of road, regardless of
the riding conditions and load
status. Using Adaptive Head-
lights, the dimming unit addi-
tionally rotates around an axis,
depending on the angle, and
compensates for the angle of
roll of the vehicle. The angle of
rotation is 70° (± 35°).
In addition to the pitching com-
pensation, therefore, the low-
beam headlight is adjusted to
compensate for the lean angle
during riding. Both movements
are overlaid so that a highlight
in the curve results. This re-
sults in significantly improved
illumination of the road when
riding around curves and thus
an enormous increase in active
safety.
