The various lighting systems of the vehicle are

only aids. The driver of the vehicle is responsible

for correct vehicle illumination in accordance with

Always park your vehicle safely using suꢀcient

lighting, in accordance with the relevant legal

stipulations.

evaluated and the active headlamps function will

adjust the light in advance.

The function is active in the following cases:
