Switching on adaptive light
- 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.
Emergency flashers
The emergency flashers makes other motorists
aware that you or your vehicle are in an emergency situation.

jam so that any other vehicles coming can
see you, or when
