Active light function

The active light function is a system that

moves the headlamps according to the steer-

ing movements of the front wheels. In this

way, relevant areas remain illuminated while

driving. This allows you to recognize pedes-

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

Cornering light function

The cornering light function improves the illu-

mination of the road over a wide angle in the

direction you are turning, enabling better vis-

ibility 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

The cornering lamp may remain lit for a short

time, but is automatically switched off after

no more than three minutes.
