Adaptive Light Control
The concept
Adaptive Light Control is a variable headlamp control system that enables better illumination of the road surface. Depending on the steering angle and other parameters, the light from the headlamp follows the course of the road.
In tight curves such as on switchbacks or when turning, at speeds up to approx. 40 mph/70 km/h, an additional, cornering light is switched on that lights up the area inside the curve.
Activating Adaptive Light ControlWith the ignition switched on, turn the light switch to position 3.
The corner-illuminating lamp is switched on automatically, depending on the steering wheel angle or turn signal indicator.
Standstill function: to avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the Adaptive Light Control directs light toward the front passenger side when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When you are reversing, only the corner-illuminating lamps are switched on and active on both sides.
MalfunctionThe warning lamp lights up. A message appears on the Control Display. The Adaptive Light Control is malfunctioning or failed. Have the system checked as soon as possible.
