light will be activated on both sides based on an  
evaluation of the vehicle's current navigation posi-  
tion. It will remain active until aꢀer the vehicle has  
leꢀ the roundabout or junction.  
The function will not be active in the following  
cases:

Enhanced fog light function  
The enhanced fog light function reduces self-daz-  
zling and improves the illumination of the edge of  
the carriageway.  
Motorway mode function  
Motorway mode increases the range and bright-  
ness of the cone of light, enabling better visibility.  
The cornering light improves the illumination of  
the carriageway over a wide angle in the turning  
direction, enabling better visibility on tight bends,  
for example. The cornering light will be activated  
only when low beam is switched on.  
The function will be active in the following cases:

Function of the bad weather light  
The bad weather light reduces reflections in rainy  
conditions by dimming individual areas of the  
headlamps. There will be less glare for the driver  
and other road users as a result.

The city lighting function  
City lighting improves the illumination of roadsides  
in urban areas using a broad distribution of light.  
The spotlight function runs in the background and  
flashes the headlamps in four short bursts at per-  
sons detected within the lane markings. You will  
also be made aware of the position of the person  
by a projected symbol.

will automatically adapt to the applicable  
requirements.  
In illuminated parts of urban areas  
Function of the topographical compensation  
Based on available map data, the lighting system  
responds pre-emptively to different road heights.  
This means that the headlamp range will remain  
virtually constant when you are driving uphill or  
downhill.  
R
You are driving outside illuminated areas.
