ABL is activated automatically[1] when the engine is started.
The function can be deactivated/reactivated in the MY CAR menu system under My S80→Active Bending Lightsor under Settings→Car settings→Light settings→Active Bending Lights.

This function is only active in twilight or dark conditions, and only when the vehicle is in motion.Note
