The ŠKODA OCTAVIA is now available with full-LED matrix headlights, in addition to standard LED headlights. The compact models SCALA and KAMIQ, as well as the KAROQ, also offer LED lights and optional full LED headlights with adaptive functions. As well as the high light yield of the LED headlights, the bright and instantaneous LED tail-lights and brake lights also ensure significantly higher safety.
In the SUPERB and the new OCTAVIA with optional full LED matrix headlights, modern LED lighting systems ensure safer driving in the dark winter months.
A camera on the windscreen of both models detects vehicles as well as reflective objects and people that are automatically shaded by the intelligent light technology. The control unit immediately and automatically switches off individual segments of the light cone, making it possible to always drive with high beam activated, without dazzling other road users.
Adaptive light modes for various driving situations
The LED matrix technology switches between various lighting modes for different driving situations and weather conditions. For example, the intelligent system recognises whether the vehicle is in the city, on a country lane or on a motorway using GPS data from the navigation system and the speed of travel, and automatically adjusts the side illumination of the lane or the active cornering light. In rain and bad weather, the turning and cornering lights illuminate the area directly in front of the car more intensely. The optional full LED headlights also offer Adaptive Functions (AFS) in the KODIAQ, KAROQ SUV models and KAMIQ as well as the SCALA and FABIA.
Increased brightness and efficiency thanks to LED technology
The modern LED headlights offer more brightness and higher efficiency than halogen counterparts. The low beam of the revised FABIA’s full LED headlights provides 66 per cent more light than the previous top version. Also, LEDs last much longer than halogen lights and consume less energy. LED modules are also used for the fog lights.
