Adaptive headlights (AFS)

headlights automatically improve lighting on
the road ahead.
The adaptive headlights can be switched on

Static cornering lights
When turning slowly to change direction or
going round a tight bend, the static cornering
lights automatically come on. The static cor-
nering lights only work at speeds of less than
40 km/h (25 mph).
The static cornering lights may be incorpora-
ted into the fog lights or the front headlights,
depending upon the equipment.
WARNING

users cannot see the vehicle w
ell enough
or at all, accidents may occur.

(
) only switches on the dipped beam
when there are no changes in brightness,
and not, for example when it is foggy.

conditions. Daytime lights do not provide
enough light to illuminate the road properly
or be seen by other road users.

when activating the daytime running light
the rear lights are not switched on. A vehi-
cle which does not have the rear lights on

darkness, in the case of heavy rain or in
conditions of poor visibility.
