Enhances ride comfort and road safety.

Automatic driving lights automatically switch the headlamps on or off, depending on light conditions. In particular when light conditions change rapidly, for example when driving through tunnels, the assistance system can help the driver and increase driving safety. A sophisticated sensor system determines the light conditions and controls the automatic driving lights. If the intensity of the light measured drops below a certain level, the automatic driving lights automatically switch on the headlamps. If the readings picked up by the sensors rise above a certain level, the headlamps are switched off again.
