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
specifications. |
