P5-1507-Active Bending Light, headlamp pattern — Headlamp pattern without active bending lights (left) and with active bending lights (right).

Active bending lights follow steering wheel movements to provide additional illumination in bends and junctions and can thereby provide the driver with improved visibility.

In the event of a fault in the function, the P5-1507-Active Bending Light Symbol symbol illuminates in the driver display at the same time as the driver display shows an explanatory text.

The function is only active in weak daylight or darkness and only when the car is moving and dipped beam is switched on.
