Active Bending Lights*
Active Bending Lights follow the movement of the steering wheel to help provide extra illumination in curves and intersections, helping to improve visibility for the driver.
The function is automatically activated when the motor is started. If a fault is detected in the system, the
Active Bending lights are only activated in weak daylight or darkness or when the lighting ring on the steering wheel lever is in position
The function can also be activated/deactivated via the center display.

Active high beam
This function can be used in dark conditions when the vehicle’s speed is approx. 20 km/h (approx. 12 mph) or higher. The function can also detect street lighting. When the camera sensor no longer detects an approaching vehicle or a vehicle ahead, the headlights will return to high beams after a second or two.
Activating active high beams: Active high beams can be activated and deactivated by turning the lighting ring on the left-side steering wheel lever to position
If active high beams are deactivated when the high beams are on the headlights will automatically switch to low beams.
Limitations for active high beams: The camera sensor on which the function is based has limitations.
If the symbol and the message Active High Beam Temporarily unavailable is displayed in the instrument panel, switching between high and low beams must be done manually.
The same applies if this symbol along with the message Windscreen sensor blocked See Manual is displayed.
Active high beams may be temporarily unavailable in certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or rain. When active high beams become available again, or the windshield sensors are no longer blocked, the message will disappear and the automatic high beam will be reactivated.
- An automatic high beam is an aid in using the best possible light based on prevailing conditions.
- The driver is always responsible for manually switching between high and low beams when traffic situations or weather conditions require this.
Brake lights
- The brake lights are automatically illuminated when braking.
- The brake lights are illuminated when the brake pedal is depressed and when the brakes are automatically applied by a driver support system.
