Available only on versions equipped with LED
technology headlamps.
With the ring of the lighting control stalk in the
"AUTO" position and the function activated
on the touch screen, this system automatically
switches between dipped and main beam
headlamps, according to lighting and traffic
conditions, using a camera located at the top of
the windscreen.
To avoid dazzling other road users, the height
of the headlamp beams must be adjusted
according to the load in the vehicle.
