Porsche PDLS Plus is an advanced lighting system that enhances your driving experience with a range of features designed to improve visibility and safety on the road. It includes dynamic cornering lights that swivel to illuminate curves, adverse weather lights that adjust the beam pattern in fog or rain, and dynamic high beam that automatically switches between high and low beams based on traffic conditions.

Information
The vehicle’s exterior lights can mist up depending
on temperature and humidity. This misting will
evaporate after a sufficient distance has been driven.
Adjusting Automatic Coming
Home lights
bb Automatic headlights switched on.
The following lights may be switched on for a certain
period to allow you to get in and out of your vehicle
with improved visibility in darkness:
When the last vehicle door is closed or after unlock-
ing the vehicle, the following lights are switched on:
– Daytime running lights
– Dipped beams when approaching
– Front and rear side marker lights
– Number plate light
These are switched off again when operational
readiness is switched on or the automatic headlights
are switched off.
The duration of the off delay can be set on the cen-
tral display.

Dynamic cornering lights
Above a speed of around 5 km/h (3 mph), the dip-
ped beam or high-beam headlights are swivelled in
the direction of the curve to illuminate the road more
clearly, depending on the speed of the vehicle and
the extent to which the steering wheel is turned.
Situational lighting distribution
Depending on the country, situational lighting con-
trol adapts the light distribution of the dipped and
high-beam headlights to urban, country-road or
motorway driving.
Adverse weather lights
When the fog lights are switched on, the dipped
beam distribution changes at a speed of less than
approx. 60 km/h (38 mph). The light beam becomes
wider and reduces glare.
Dynamic high beam
Fig. 109: Windscreen camera
Light sources of other road users can be detected by
camera Ain the vicinity of the interior mirror. Their
detection continuously adjusts the light/dark limit of
the driving light in several phases between dipped-
beam and full-high beam illumination. The stage is
selected in such a way that the light/dark limit of the
driving light reaches the next recognised vehicle.
Dynamic high beam is switched on or off at speeds
between 30 km/h (20 mph) and
60 km/h (37 mph)), depending on the navigation
data. Full high-beam illumination is switched to dip-
ped beam when the camera detects street lights.
Dynamic high beam can be activated or deactivated
on the central display:

Information
To avoid impairing the detection performance:
eDo not cover the camera area on the interior
mirror with objects (e.g. stickers).
eThe camera must always be kept free of dirt, ice
and snow.

or deactivated. The beam in the relevant area in front
of the vehicle is low, the rest remains high. This en-
sures that the environment is lit without dazzling
other road users.
Dynamic high beam is switched on or off at speeds
between 30 km/h (20 mph) and
60 km/h (37 mph)), depending on the navigation
data. Full high beam illumination is switched to dip-
ped beam when the camera detects street lights.

tivated in the central display:

Information
To avoid impairing the detection performance:
eDo not cover the camera area on the interior
mirror with objects (e.g. stickers).
eThe camera must always be kept free of dirt, ice
and snow.
Passing lights
bb No oncoming traffic.
bb Vehicle ahead.
eOperate the direction indicator for overtaking
while driving.
The area next to the vehicle ahead is illuminated
brightly. This makes it easier to see the road
ahead.
Passing lights are automatically deactivated
again when the turn signal is deactivated or if
oncoming traffic is detected.
Encounter lights
bb No vehicle ahead.
bb Oncoming traffic with detected headlights.
The light distribution is briefly changed so that the
lane being driven on is illuminated brightly. This
draws the direction of vision onto the lane being
driven on. The driver is less dazzled by the oncoming
traffic.
Signage glare reduction
bb Dynamic high beam is switched on.
The glare of reflective traffic signs and other signage
can – particularly when driving with high beams –
cause the driver to be dazzled.
The signage glare reduction briefly dims individual
LED segments of the vehicle's low or high beam
headlights in a targeted manner. The driver is
dazzled less due to reflecting traffic signs and other
signage.
Automatic headlight calibration
bb No object in the field of vision that could be af-
fected by the headlights during calibration.
bb Vehicle positioned as straight as possible in front
of a projection surface, such as a wall (distance
> 5 m).
bb Dipped beam on when vehicle stationary.
bb Test run performed automatically when low
beams are activated.
Automatic headlight calibration starts on its own if
the conditions are right (depending on ambient
lighting, a good projection surface). The LED seg-
ments of the headlight are automatically activated
and deactivated repeatedly from right to left during
calibration and detected by the camera (A).
Calibration is used to check headlight alignment and
does not replace manual headlight adjustment.
