This prevents dazzling of oncoming motorists that might lead to accidents. The smart headlights can even adjust its part of its lighting throw when vehicles behind overtake.
DS Active LED Vision is standard in the DS 7 Crossback. DS 3 Crossback is fitted with DS Matrix LED Vision beam system
DS 7 Crossback headlamps all feature a main projector headlamp in a sealed cluster of three LEDs that rotate 180 degrees. At night, the beam adapts in width and range to the road conditions and vehicle speed. Six lighting modes are available: Parking, Town Beam, Country Beam, Motorway Beam, Adverse Beam and High Beam.
By lighting up the road more effectively and over a greater distance, or more on the sides of the road, drivers and passengers alike benefit from greater levels of safety. Safety is also enhanced with the rear light LEDs that activate in an instant and benefit from a lifespan that is as long as that of the car.
On DS 3 Crossback, the available LED light system adjusts lighting, switching from full beam to dipped headlights automatically without dazzling oncoming drivers. The intelligent lighting recognises road and traffic conditions using a camera mounted in the windscreen and adapts automatically.
This system features three LED modules for dipped beam while a Matrix Beam uses 15 identical but independent LED units that illuminate and dim progressively depending on road conditions. In urban areas with dipped beams, the Matrix Beam switches off, before turning itself on in more rural settings. When following other cars on dual carriageways or approaching oncoming vehicles, the Matrix Beam adjusts to switch off the LED modules in the narrow field of the other road users helping to reduce dazzle while still safely illuminating the road ahead for the driver.
DS Matrix LED Vision works in conjunction with the Extended Emergency Braking System and Extended Traffic Sign Recognition to create a complete safety shield for drivers.
