You can watch an animation on this topic via the

following link:

With this system, the headlamps adapt to the driv-

ing and weather situation. It also provides exten-

ded functions for improved illumination of the

road.

▌Cornering light function

Roundabout and junction function: the cornering

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:

R

at speeds below 80 km/h

▌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:

R

At speeds below 40 km/h when the turn sig-

nal light is switched on or the steering wheel

is turned

At speeds between 40 km/h and 70 km/h

▌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 availability of the functions is country-

dependent.

The assistance functions of DIGITAL LIGHT

may be an on-demand feature (/ page 83).

▌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.

The system will be active in the following cases:

R

The light switch is in the Ã position.

The function will be active in the following cases:

Depending on the country in which you are

currently driving, certain functions may be

disabled due to diﬀerent legal requirements,

even if they are enabled in the multimedia

system. When you cross a border, the vehicle

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.

R

The system detects a lane marking.
