Lights and visibility116
Dynamic curve lights* (AFS)
The dynamic curve lights only operate if the vehicle is travelling at more than
10 km/h and the dipped headlamps are on. When taking a bend, the road is
illuminated better with directional gas discharge lamps than with conven-
tional fixed headlamps.
A fault in the system is indicated via the flashing of the control lamp
on the
dash panel. At the same time, a text message with information or instructions
to perform necessary operations may appear on the dash panel display. Take
the vehicle to a qualified workshop and have the fault repaired.
If the control lamp
lights up on the instrument panel but all the lamps are
operating correctly, there may still be a fault in the dynamic curve lighting
system (AFS). Take the vehicle to a qualified workshop and have the fault
repaired.
WARNING
If the “automatic dipped light control” is switched on, the dipped head-
lights will not be switched on in fog. They should be switched on manually
using the light switch. The driver is personally responsible for the correct
use of lights in all situations. “Automatic headlight control” is merely a
system to support the driver. Where necessary, switch on the lights manu-
ally using the light switch.
