Headlight Activation, automatic

Headlight Activation, automatic

Automatic headlight activation ensures optimum vehicle lighting at all times, without the driver having to switch the headlights on or off manually. The system offers the driver a significant gain in terms of convenience and safety. The headlights are automatically switched on by means of a twilight sensor as darkness sets in, or when driving through a tunnel in the daytime. But the headlights are also activated in rain (continuous wipe for more that 5 seconds) or at high speed (at speeds over 140 km/h for longer than 10 seconds). When the speed drops again or the wipers are switched off, the system automatically deactivates the headlights after a short time. In this way your own vehicle is more easily seen by other road users. Your convenience and safety are thus permanently enhanced.
