Lighting

Manual headlamp mode

The low beam headlamps and the parking

lamps can be switched on and off with the

exterior lamp switch.

Automatic headlamp mode

The following lamps switch on and off

automatically depending on the brightness

of the ambient light:

앫 Low beam headlamps

앫 Tail and parking lamps

앫 License plate lamps

앫 Side marker lamps

왘 Turn the exterior lamp switch to

position U.

With the SmartKey in starter switch

position 1, only the parking lamps will

switch on and off automatically.

When the engine is running, the low

beam headlamps, the tail and parking

lamps, the license plate lamps, and the

side marker lamps will switch on and

off automatically.

Warning! G

If the exterior lamp switch is set to U,

앫 the headlamps may switch off unexpect-

edly when the system senses bright

ambient light, for example light from

oncoming traffic.

앫 the headlamps will not be automatically

switched on under foggy conditions.

To minimize risk to you and to others,

activate headlamps by turning exterior lamp

switch to B when driving or when traffic

and/or ambient lighting conditions require

you to do so.

In low ambient lighting conditions, only

switch from position U to B with the

vehicle at a standstill in a safe location.

Switching from U to B will briefly

switch off the headlamps. Doing so while

driving in low ambient lighting conditions

may result in an accident.

The automatic headlamp feature is only an

aid to the driver. The driver is responsible for

the operation of the vehicle's lights at all

times.

i

Fog lamps cannot be switched on with

the exterior lamp switch in

position U. For switching on the fog

lamps, turn the exterior lamp switch to

position B first.
