Active Xenon headlamps*
Active Xenon headlamps are designed to pro-
vide maximum illumination in bends and junc-
tions and so provide increased safety.
Active Xenon headlamps ABL
Headlamp pattern with function deactivated (left)
and activated (right) respectively.
If the car is equipped with active Xenon head-
lamps (Active Bending Lights – ABL) the light
from the headlamps follows the steering
wheel movement in order to provide maxi-
mum lighting in bends and junctions and so
provide increased safety.
The function is activated automatically when
the car is started (provided that it has not
been deactivated in the menu system
MY CAR, see MY CAR (p. 114)). In the event
of a fault in the function the
symbol illu-
minates in the combined instrument panel at
the same time as the information display
shows an explanatory text and a further illu-
minated symbol.

Cornering lights*
Active Xenon headlamps with the Active main
beam function of the adaptive type (Active
main beam with adaptive functionality) are
equipped with cornering lights that temporar-
ily illuminate the area diagonally in front of the
car in the direction the steering wheel is
turned in a sharp bend, or in the direction the
direction indicators are being used.
The function is activated when main beam or
dipped beam is used and the car's speed is
lower than approx. 30 km/h.
In addition, both cornering lights are switched
on as a supplement to the reversing lamp
during reversing.
