About Adaptive Headlamps
The headlamps are designed to adapt when
you are steering around a curve, or if the
camera detects lane markings indicating a
curve or traffic signs indicating an
intersection.
The system is designed to operate if all of
the following occur:
You switch the system on through your
vehicle settings...
Safe operation of your vehicle requires
that your tires are properly inflated.
Remember that a tire can lose up to half
of its air pressure without appearing flat.
Every day before you drive, check your
tires. If one looks lower than the others,
use a tire gauge to check the pressure
of all tires and adjust if required...
