pretty sure they do not state how to toggle beam pattern for LHD / RHD - and wasn't aware maybe you can play in dealer tools - as for operation (outside NV with a separate switch beside the Light Switch) there is nothing to play with on the lights - you just drive the car - maybe corner lights for parking speeds is an on off option in the COMAND menus....

and NV only works after it believes its night time
Active curve light is on and not adjustable
Auto high beam needs something to see other vehicles - unsure if early cars with NV can use this camera to enable High beam assist - there are some odd hidden cluster menu tick boxes with an odd name - that BN once suggested was for High beam assist - if so I guess they hadn't perfected it so was left off - like wise I found a tickbox for NV highlight humans was set to off. But now can't find to see if it worked

AFAIK both high beam assist and highlight things of interest when using NV, became std in facelift car - alongside attention nagging
