Daytime driving lights

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The daytime driving lights are realized by the positioning lights and the lighting rings in the LED headlight. However, the pulse width modulation is cancelled and the LEDs are supplied directly with full voltage from the vehicle voltage. This makes the daytime driving lights substantially brighter than the side lights.

The light switch must be turned to "Position 0" before the daytime driving lights can be activated. The daytime driving lights can also be activated by the automatic driving lights control when the rain-light-solar-condensation sensor indicates high-intensity ambient brightness. The light switch must be in its "Position A".

On national-market versions with this feature, the daytime driving lights are activated when terminal 15 is switched on. Via "Personal Profile" in the Central Information Display (CID), the daytime driving lights can be activated or deactivated using the controller (CON). The daytime driving lights are switched off at "Terminal 15 off".

Depending on the corresponding local regulations, in some of the national-market versions the daytime driving lights cannot be deactivated via the "Personal Profile".
