03 Instruments and controls
Tunnel detection (models with the rain
sensor* only)
Active Bending Lights (ABL)*
NOTE
With ABL activated, the headlight beams
adjust laterally to help light up a curve
according to movements of the steering
wheel (see the right-pointing beam in the fol-
lowing illustration).
This function is only active in twilight or
dark conditions, and only when the vehicle
is in motion.
For models without automatic low beams,
tunnel detection activates the low beams
when the vehicle enters a tunnel. The low
beams are switched off approx. 20 seconds
after the vehicle leaves the tunnel.
If a fault should occur in the system, the sym-
bol will illuminate and a message will be dis-
played as shown in the table.
The rain sensor reacts to the change in light-
ing conditions when, for example, the vehicle
enters a tunnel and the tunnel detection fea-
ture will then activate the low beam head-
lights. The low beams will be switched off
approx. 20 seconds after the vehicle leaves
the tunnel.
