The front, rear and side vehicle 
lighting is switched on. You can 
use this to signal the position of 

the vehicle when it is parked. For light-
ing on one side for parking as an addi-
tional feature, refer to page 

.

When you switch the ignition off 
with the low-beam headlamps 
on, only the parking lamps will 

remain on.

When you activate the headlamp 
flasher after parking the vehicle and 
switching off the lights, the low beams 
will come on for a brief period.

You can also have this function 
deactivated.

<

Whenever you open the driver's door 
after having turned the ignition key to 
position 0, you will hear an acoustic 
signal for a few seconds to remind you 
that the lamps have not been switched 
off.

If you desire, the light switch can be left 
in the low-beam position: when the 
ignition is switched off, the external 
lighting is also switched off.

Observe the legal regulations regarding 
the use of daytime driving lamps.

When required, switch on the parking 
lamps as usual as described under 
Parking lamps.

You can have the activation set-
tings for the daytime driving lamps 

programmed on your vehicle.

<

When the switch is in this posi-
tion, the system automatically 
responds to changes in ambient 

light, for example in tunnels, at dusk 
and when it is raining or snowing, by 
switching the low beams on or off.

The low-beam headlamps remain 
on, regardless of the ambient 

light, when you switch on the fog 
lamps.

<

Automatic headlamp control can-
not serve as a substitute for your 

personal judgement in determining 
when the lamps should be switched on. 
For example, the sensors are not able 
to detect fog. In such situations switch 
on the lamp manually, as otherwise a 
safety hazard will result.

<

You can have the sensitivity of 
your vehicle's automatic head-

lamp control adjusted.
