Curve-adaptive?	No
High-beam assist?	No
Overall rating	A
Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination:

Low beams On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual left and both right curves and fair on the sharp left curve.

The low beams created some glare.

High beams On the straightaway, visibility was inadequate on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual left curve and fair on the sharp left and both right curves.
