Headlight pattern with the Active Bending Light function deactivated (left) and activated (right)

When this function is activated, the headlight beams adjust laterally to help light up a curve according to movements of the steering wheel (see the right-pointing beam in the illustration).

ABL is activated automatically1 when the engine is started.

The function can be deactivated/reactivated in the MY CAR menu system under My S60 Active Bending Lights or under Settings Car settings Light settings Active Bending Lights.

See page 133 for a description of the menu system.

NOTE

This function is only active in twilight or dark conditions, and only when the vehicle is in motion.

If a fault should occur in the system, the symbol will illuminate and a message will be displayed as shown in the table.
