Light Systems

Main Headlights







Low beam/driving light

Depending on the light switch position, the low beams are switched on automatically in the following situations: dusk, darkness, driving through tunnels, rain, highway driving

Highway function in bright conditions

The driving light is switched on automatically at speeds of more than approx. 90 mph (140 km/h) in bright conditions and when the daytime running lights are deactivated. When driving at a speed of less than approx. 40 mph (65 km/h), the driving light is switched off after a delay of approx. 4 minutes if the external lighting conditions permit.

Rain function

The driving light is switched on automatically after five seconds of continuous wiper operation. If the wipers have not been used for approx. 4 minutes, the driving light is switched off.

Fog lights

When the fog lights are switched on, the driving light distribution changes at speeds of less than approx. 38 mph (60 km/h). The light beam is widened and glare is reduced.

Front Lights







All Panamera models also come with front lights with direction indicator lights and LED position light (bar shaped LED light guides) as standard. On the Panamera S and Panamera 4S, the front lights also house the horizontal, LED-technology daytime driving lights. On the Panamera Turbo, the daytime driving lights - with four LED spotlights each - are located as mentioned earlier in the main headlights. The position light (LED light guides) is designed to surround the direction indicator lights. Daytime running lights increase driving safety during the day by making the vehicle more visible for other road users.
