Default S60 / V60 ABL Xenon traffic swithc to LH

Good evening, comrades.

Short question regarding active bending bi-xenons that can be found on S60 / V60's. There is an option in MyCar menu to switch traffic to LH (in case you drive in Europe). What exactly that function does? It changes the pattern of a beam or some kind of a shade inside the headlamp blocks the light?

Anyone aware? Thanks!

Adjusting headlamp pattern


Headlamp pattern, left-hand traffic.
Headlamp pattern, right-hand traffic.
The headlamp pattern must be adjusted to
avoid dazzling oncoming motorists and can be
set for right or left-hand traffic. The correct pat-
tern will also better illuminate the verge.
Active Xenon headlamps*
The car must be stationary with the engine run-
ning when the headlamp pattern is shifted
between right and left-hand traffic.
1. Access the menu system MY CAR under
Settings Car settings Light
settings.
2. Select between Temporary RH traffic
and Temporary LH traffic.

Hi ,

My question mainly was about the technical part, not about the function itslef.

What exactly happens with the headlights when this option is turned on. In other words "what makes the beam pattern change?'
