Converting headlights from driving on
left to driving on right, LED headlights
If a right-hand drive vehicle is driven in a left-hand drive country,
or vice versa, the headlights must be converted. This is necessary
in order to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic with the asymmetric
low beam headlights.
Note
♦ The conversion from driving on left to driving on right, or vice
versa, is performed by means of the infotainment system.
♦ It is only permissible to make use of the headlight converter
for a short period of time. When permanently driving in the
respective country during a longer period of time, suitable
headlights need to be installed according to valid specifica‐
tions.
