- Turn the light switch to AUTO > fig. 46.
The adaptive light system is a combination of the dynamic and the static cornering lights. With the lights switched on, the dynamic cornering light adapts to driving on curves. This is dependent upon the vehicle speed and steering angle. This provides better lighting through the curve. The system operates in a speed range from approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) to 68 mph (110 km/h).
The static cornering light switches on at speeds of up to approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) when a certain steering wheel angle is reached or when a turn signal is activated. The area to the side of the vehicle is illuminated better when turning.
