Question iLS setting for left hand drive vehicles

Anyone out there in a left hand drive country with intelligent lighting system?
In the setup menu I have the choice to set " dip headlights for left hand traffic" or right hand traffic, to me this is confusing. Does it mean oncoming traffic or the direction I am travelling (driving on the left), the dealer is not much help. I have not had the opportunity to try the car out at night on a highway but would like to have it set correctly before I do. If anyone has any experience with this could you please pass it on or even have peek at what your vehicle is set to
Regards
Greg

The setting displaid is the actual situation, so if lefthand driving is visible that is the current situation. ILS in a left hand drive is not working if you alter the setting to right hand drive

Then you can also change the digital km indicator to miles, in the middle display. This affects the navigation, trip meter etc.

Awesome! too bad it doesn't do that automatically based on GPS/Location (while system clock already does that twice a year).

Clock is adjusted by cellular network, also when driving into GB...
