The front, rear and side vehicle 
lighting is switched on. You can 
use the parking lamps to signal 

the position of the vehicle when it is 
parked. For lighting on one side for 
parking as an additional feature, refer to 
page 

.

When the ignition is switched off 
while the low beams are on, the 
headlamps go out and only the 

parking lamps remain on.

When you activate the headlamp 
flasher after parking the vehicle with the 
lamps turned off, the low-beam head-
lamps will come on for a short time. 

You can also have this function 
deactivated.

<

When you open the driver's door, after 
having turned the ignition key to posi-
tion 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 lamp switch can be 
left in the second position: when the 
ignition is switched off, the external 
lighting is also switched off.

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

programmed on your vehicle.

<

When the switch is set to this 
position the system automati-
cally activates and cancels the 

low beams in response to changes in 
ambient light – in tunnels, at dusk, etc. – 
and in the event of rain and snow.

The vehicle's external lights 
remain on constantly when you 

switch on the front fog lamps after the 
headlights have come on automati-
cally.

<

Automatic headlight control can-
not serve as a substitute for the 

driver's judgement in determining when 
the vehicle lights should be switched 
on. For example, the sensors are not 
able to detect fog. To avoid safety risks, 
you should respond to these kinds of 
low-visibility situations by switching the 
headlights on manually.

<

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

light control adjusted.
