Adaptive headlights are an active safety feature designed to make driving at night or in low-light conditions safer by increasing visibility around curves and over hills. When driving around a bend in the road, standard headlights continue to shine straight ahead, illuminating the side of the road and leaving the road ahead of you in the dark. Adaptive headlights, on the other hand, turn their beams according to your steering input so that the vehicle’s actual path is lit up. 2, record 3, English, - adaptive%20headlight

Les phares DHI [...], issus de la technologie du xénon, produisent un large faisceau de lumière blanche aux contours très nets. Comparé aux traditionnelles ampoules halogène, l'éclairage DHI projette deux fois plus de lumière sur la route à l'avant, améliorant ainsi la sécurité de nuit et dans des conditions de conduite défavorables. Outre le fait qu'ils durent plus longtemps que les ampoules halogène, les phares DHI sont aussi moins éblouissants pour les conducteurs venant en face. 2, record 13, French, - phare%20%C3%A0%20d%C3%A9charge%20%C3%A0%20haute%20intensit%C3%A9

Lampe électrique, légère et peu encombrante, portée sur le front, munie d'un réflecteur et qui comporte un boîtier d'allumage relié par un fil à un projecteur orientable. Elle est utilisée dans l'obscurité du soir ou du matin et elle permet de chercher les détails des aspérités rocheuses. Elle est très pratique pour l'alpiniste, car elle lui permet de garder les mains libres et de plus la lumière se dirige dans la même direction que son regard. 2, record 14, French, - lampe%20frontale

La lampe frontale est très utile lors de la marche d'approche, pour peu qu'on quitte le refuge avant le lever du jour, ce qui est fréquent. Légère et peu encombrante, elle se range ensuite facilement dans le sac. En outre, dans les courses exceptionnelles ou quand une cordée est en perdition, on ne peut pas toujours bivouaquer avant la fin de la journée et les alpinistes doivent continuer à grimper dans l'obscurité. 1, record 14, French, - lampe%20frontale
