Lighting
All-LED headlights including high-beam
assist – LEDs for all front lighting functions.
LED technology provides lower energy
consumption and enhanced contrast with
a colour similar to daylight, for increased
safety and good recognition by other road
users. Includes all-weather light function to
reduce the risk of the driver being dazzled
when visibility is poor (in fog, rain or snow),
turning-light function which is activated
when indicator is switched on (up to speeds
of 45mph), and an additional motorway light
which automatically increases headlight range
at speeds above approximately 68mph.
Also includes high-beam assist which
automatically adjusts headlights from high-
beam to dipped-beam when another vehicle is
approaching or when other ambient lighting is
detected (i.e. street lights) by a camera on the
interior mirror
Dynamic rear indicator – the rear indicators
dynamically sweep from inside to out within
0.15 seconds. This helps to clearly identify
not only that the vehicle is turning, but in
which direction – increasing road safety as
it is easier for other road users to determine
which way cars are moving in a shorter
amount of time
