When you open the driver's door with the igni-

tion switched off, the exterior lighting is auto-

matically switched off if the light switch is in

position 0, 2 or 3.

Switch on the parking lamps if necessary,

switch position 1.

Parking lamps

In switch position 1, the front, rear and side

vehicle lighting is switched on. You can use the

parking lamps for parking.

The parking lamps will discharge the bat-

tery. Therefore, do not leave them on for

unduly long periods of time, otherwise the bat-

tery might not have enough power to start the

engine. It is preferable to switch on the left-

hand or right-hand roadside parking lamps,

refer to page 102.<

Low beams

The low beams light up when the light switch is

in position 2 and the ignition is on.

Automatic headlamp control*

When the switch is in position 3, the low beams

are switched on and off automatically depend-

ing on ambient light conditions, e.g. in a tunnel,

in twilight, or if there is precipitation. The Adap-

tive Head Light

*

is active. The LED next to the

symbol is illuminated when the low beams are

on. You can also activate the daytime running

lamps, refer to page 101. In the situations

described above, the lamps then automatically

switch from daytime running lamps to low

beams.

The headlamps may also come on when the

sun is sitting low on a blue sky.

The low beams remain switched on inde-

pendent of the ambient lighting condi-

tions when you switch on the fog lamps.<

The automatic headlamp control cannot

serve as a substitute for your personal

judgment in determining when the lamps

should be switched on in response to ambient

lighting conditions. For example, the system

cannot detect fog or hazy weather. To avoid

safety risks, you should always switch on the

low-beam headlamps manually under these

conditions.<

Welcome lamps

If you leave the light switch in position 2 or 3

when you park the car, the parking lamps and

the interior lamps light up briefly when you

unlock the vehicle.
