Active light function

The active light function is a system that

moves the headlamps according to the

steering movements of the front wheels. In

this way, relevant areas remain illuminated

while driving. This allows you to recognize

pedestrians, cyclists and animals.
Active: when the lights are switched on.

Cornering light function

The cornering light function improves the

illumination of the road over a wide angle in

the direction you are turning, enabling better

visibility in tight bends, for example. It can

only be activated when the low-beam

headlamps are switched on.
Active:

R

if you are driving at speeds below 25 mph

(40 km/h) and switch on the turn signal or

turn the steering wheel

R

if you are driving at speeds between

25 mph (40 km/h) and 45 mph (70 km/h)

and turn the steering wheel

Not active: if you are driving at speeds above

25 mph (40 km/h) or switch off the turn

signal or turn the steering wheel to the

straight-ahead position.
The cornering lamp may remain lit for a short

time, but is automatically switched off after

no more than three minutes.
