Note: ALC => AHL
The development code for the adaptive headlights was "ALC".
ALC stood for "Adaptive Light Control".
The marketing and sales designation for option 524 in English-language markets is "adaptive headlights",
abbreviated to "AHL".
Diagnosis and technical vehicle documentation therefore use the abbreviation "AHL".
However, "ALC" is still used on some control units and in the EPC (Electronic Parts Catalogue).
Introduction
Adaptive headlights turns the bi-xenon headlights towards the inside of a bend when cornering. This improves
illumination of the curve of the road. Visibility is therefore improved.
When cornering, the driver is not looking into a "black hole" - instead, the adaptive headlights allow the driver to see
the curve of the road.
