adaptive light

This feature provides better illumination when you drive

through a corner.

The adaptive light gives better illumination of the bend and the side

of the road when driving through a corner ⇒ fig. 55. The adaptive

light is controlled automatically, depending on the speed of the

vehicle and the steering wheel angle.

The headlights are regulated automatically when you drive through

a corner, depending on how far you turn the steering wheel. To

avoid having a dark spot in front of the vehicle the two headlights

are directed at different angles.

Note

The system is active at speeds from approximately 10 km/h to

110 km/h.

Hazard warning lights 

The hazard warning lights are used to make other road

users aware of your vehicle in hazardous situations.

– Press the switch  to switch the hazard warning lights

on or off ⇒ fig. 56.

All four turn signals flash simultaneously when the hazard warning

lights are switched on. The two turn signal indicator lamps   and

the indicator lamp in the switch  will flash at the same time. The

hazard warning lights also work when the ignition is switched off.

The hazard warning lights come on automatically in the event of an

accident in which an airbag is triggered or in the case of an emer-

gency stop (full brake application).

Note

You should switch on the hazard warning lights to warn other road

users, for instance:

• When reaching the tail end of a traffic jam

• If your vehicle breaks down or there is an emergency

• If your vehicle is being towed away, or if you are towing another

vehicle.
