03 Your driving environment Lighting CAUTION In the following situations, it may be necessary to switch between high and low beams manually: 03 Tunnel detection (standard on models with a rain sensor) The optional rain sensor reacts to the change in lighting conditions when, for example, the vehicle is driven into a tunnel. If the daytime running lights have been deactivated, tunnel detection will activate the low beam headlights while the vehicle is in the tunnel. The low beams will be switched off approx. 20 seconds after the vehicle leaves the tunnel. The rain sensor does not have to be activated for tunnel detection to function. 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 189 for a description of the menu system.
