Adapting the beam pattern from the headlamps

If the car is equipped with LED headlamps with adaptive functionality, then the headlamp pattern should be reset when changing from right to left-hand traffic, and vice versa.

The headlamp pattern does not need to be adjusted. The headlamp pattern is designed in such a way that oncoming traffic is not dazzled.
