Active Xenon headlamps - ABL*
Headlamp pattern with function deactivated (left)
and activated (right) respectively.
If the car is equipped with active Xenon head-
lamps (Active Bending Lights – ABL) the light
from the headlamps follows the steering
wheel movement in order to provide maxi-
mum lighting in bends and junctions and so
provide increased safety.
The function is activated automatically when
the car is started (provided that it has not
been deactivated in the menu system
MY CAR). In the event of a fault in the func-
tion the symbol illuminates in the com-
bined instrument panel at the same time as
the information display shows an explanatory
text and a further illuminated symbol.
