When switched on, adaptive light adjusts to
curves depending on the vehicle speed and steer-
ing
wheel angle. This provides better lighting
through the curve. The system operates in a
speed range from approximately 6 mph (10 km/
h) to 68 mph (110 km/h).

cally when the steering wheel
is
turned at acer-
tain angle at speeds up to approximately 44 mph
(70 km/h) and when the turn signal is activated
at speeds up to approximately 25 mph (40 km/
h). The

illuminat-
ed better when turning.

-
If you turn off the ignition while the exterior
lights are on and open the door, you will
hear a warning tone.
-
In some market-specific versions, the tail
lights do not turn on when switching on the
daytime running lights
.
-
In cool or damp weather, the inside of the
headlights, turn signals and tail lights can
fog over due to the temperature
difference
between the inside
and
outside.
They
will
clear
shortly after switching
them
on
.
This
does not
affect
the
service
life
of
the light-
