The asymmetric low beams of the headlights are designed to light up the near side of the road more intensely. If you drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, you will dazzle oncoming traffic. To avoid dazzling oncoming traffic, you can set Lights for driving on left or Lights for driving on right to on. The beams are adjusted automatically on vehicles with navigation system* and adaptive light*.
