Adaptive Headlights.
Adaptive Headlights ensure that you have the best possible view of the road ahead, even at night. As you enter a curve, the headlight's beam turns to follow the direction of the road. So you always know what's ahead.
Conventional fixed headlights cast their beam straight ahead only. On bends, this means the beam can fall on the oncoming traffic, blinding other drivers while leaving the road ahead in darkness.
In contrast, Adaptive Headlights use swivelling headlights that always point in the direction the vehicle is steering. The road ahead is better illuminated and obstacles become visible sooner. This provides significant safety benefits when taking bends at night or whenever visibility is poor.
At the heart of the Adaptive Headlight technology lies the dynamic headlamp control system. Sensors measure speed, steering angle and yaw (degree of rotation around the vertical axis). Based on this information, small electric motors turn the headlights so the beam falls on the road ahead, guiding you into the bend.
This intelligent headlight system is activated whenever the vehicle is moving forwards. When the vehicle is in reverse or if the steering wheel is turned when the vehicle is not moving (such as when leaving a parallel parking space), the headlights do not turn, in order to prevent blinding the drivers of oncoming traffic.
Cornering lights are an additional feature to Adaptive Headlights. They provide an extra source of light when parking or turning sharply at low speeds.
