continuous street lighting. By automatically switching off the mainbeam headlights in good time, the mainbeam
assistant ensures that the occupants of oncoming vehicles, for example, are not dazzled by the headlights.
Benefits:
•
The mainbeam assistant assists the driver in operating the mainbeam headlights. This enhances the level
of convenience for the driver.
•
The mainbeam headlights are switched on more frequently by the mainbeam assistant than is the case with
manually operated mainbeam headlights.
•
The driver's field of vision is optimally illuminated. Driving in the dark, therefore, is rendered safer.
Important: The driver retains full responsibility for all his/her actions, despite the assistance of the mainbeam
assistant.
The mainbeam assistant merely assists the driver in the task of operating the mainbeam headlights. The
responsibility for switching the headlight on and off in accordance with the traffic situation remains with the
driver. The mainbeam assistant can be deactivated at any stage with the driving direction - mainbeam switch.

Adaptive headlights
The adaptive headlights turn 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.
The AHL control unit actuates the adaptive headlights. For safety reasons, the AHL control unit is also
responsible for the automatic headlight-range adjustment. This is because: Oncoming traffic may not be dazzled
by the adaptive headlights.
If a headlight sticks in an unfavourable position, the AHL control unit will attempt to move this headlight down
(using the stepper motors in the automatic headlight-range adjustment). The AHL control unit is connected to the
PT-CAN.
The turning light is new.
The turning lights give the area next to the carriageway additional illumination when you are turning or cornering
(driving in tight bends). The function is also active when you are parking. Depending on the country concerned,
the turning lights are switched on when cornering.
The turning lights are implemented with the front foglights. (Reason: The installation location of the headlights is
too high for the turning lights. This prevents the legal requirements from being observed.
Depending on actuation, the right-hand and/or left-hand front foglight is switched on. The turning lights are
actuated by the light module (LM).
The front foglights have an additional reflector to improve illumination of the areas to the sides.
When turning, the front foglight on the inside of the turn is automatically activated. The additional reflector for the
turning light reflects the light beam towards the turning area.
The turning light is not switched on suddenly but rather faded in according to special time parameters.
Depending on the country concerned, the turning lights is switched on when cornering.

Interior lighting
The FRM (footwell module) actuates the interior lighting.
The internal lighting comprises the roof area, the luggage compartment, the footwell and the inside door lighting.
The area outside the doors is lighted by the exterior lighting (outside door handles) and the access lights.
The roof area is actuated by the footwell module via the Roof Control Centre (FZD) by bodywork CAN.
In the roof area on the passenger side as well as at the rear of driver side the internal lighting is equipped with 2
