Volvo XC90: Lighting / Active Bending Lights
Active Bending Lights (ABL) are designed to help provide extra illumination
in curves and intersections. Depending on equipment level, vehicles with LED1
headlights* may be equipped with Active Bending Lights.

(right).
Active Bending Lights follow the movement of the steering wheel to help provide
extra illumination in curves and intersections, helping to improve visibility for
the driver.
The function is automatically activated when the engine is started. If a fault
is detected in the system, the symbol
will illuminate in the instrument panel and a message will be displayed.
The function is only active in weak daylight or dark conditions and only when
