If the car is equipped with active Xenon headlamps (Active Bending Lights – ABL) the light from the headlamps follows the steering wheel movement in order to provide maximum lighting in bends and junctions and so provide increased safety.

The function is activated automatically when the car is started (provided that it has not been deactivated in the menu system MY CAR), see MY CAR. In the event of a fault in the function the P3-0920 Symbol ABL – text symbol illuminates in the combined instrument panel at the same time as the information display shows an explanatory text and a further illuminated symbol.
