The various lighting systems of the vehicle are

only aids. The driver of the vehicle is responsible

for correct vehicle illumination in accordance with

the prevailing light and visibility conditions, legal

requirements and traꢀc situation.

Always park your vehicle safely using suꢀcient

lighting, in accordance with the relevant legal

stipulations.

Adaptive functions, MULTIBEAM LED

Active headlamps function

Cornering light function

Intelligent Light System function (Canada)

The MULTIBEAM LED headlamps adapt to the

driving and weather situation and provide exten-

ded functions for improved illumination of the

road.

The system comprises the following functions:

Active headlamps (/ page 122)

Cornering light (/ page 122)

Highway mode (/ page 123)

The headlamps follow the steering move-

The cornering light improves the illumination of

the road over a wide angle in the turning direc-

tion, enabling better visibility on tight curves, for

example. It can be activated only when the low

beam is switched on.

Relevant areas are better illuminated during a

journey.

The system is active only when it is dark.

The functions are active when the low beam is

switched on.

Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the course

of the lane in which you are driving will also be

evaluated and the active headlamps function will

adjust the light in advance.

The function is active in the following cases:

At speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h) when the

turn signal light is switched on or the steering

wheel is turned

Highway mode function (Canada)

Highway mode increases the range and bright-

ness of the cone of light, enabling better visibility.

Function of the bad weather light (Canada)

The bad weather light reduces reꢄections in rainy

conditions by dimming individual LEDs in the

headlamps. The driver and other road users are

blinded less as a result.

The city lighting function (Canada)

City lighting improves the illumination of roadsides

in urban areas using a broad distribution of light.

The function is active in the following cases:
