Ride-Height Sensors
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 94 other vehicles, including the 2013 BMW X6, 2012 BMW X6, 2011 BMW X6, 2010 BMW Z4, and 2010 BMW X6 M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the special equipment "Adaptive headlights" is fitted, the adaptive headlights control unit evaluates the signals from the ride-height sensors. This is because: the adaptive headlights control unit also controls the automatic headlight-range adjustment.
The automatic headlight - range adjustment feature adjusts the vertical aim of the headlights to compensate for variations in the vehicle tilt angle (e.g. when the vehicle is laden, and under braking and acceleration in dynamic driving situations).
