Exterior Lighting System with Adaptive Headlights

The adaptive headlights include the functions of the exterior lighting system. However it allows panning of the bi-xenon low-beam and high-beam headlights when cornering.

NOTE: Standard equipment for the vehicle includes bi-xenon headlights, fog lights and automatic driving lights function.

Panning of the bi-xenon low-beam and high-beam headlights is adapted continuously during cornering. Illumination during cornering therefore improves the driver's vision.

Illumination during cornering results in:

Safer cornering with faster identification of obstacles
Better perception of the environment
Prevention of accidents.

The electronics of the adaptive headlight allow fast reaction to the current driving conditions. The system is controlled by the electronics and is less susceptible to malfunctions than purely mechanical systems.

Furthermore an emergency program can be activated via the electronics.
