vehicle lighting is switched on. You can use the
parking lamps for parking. For the additional
option of roadside parking lamps on one side of
the car only, refer to page

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.

Low beams

The low beams light up when the light switch is
in position

2 and the ignition is on.

If desired, the light switch can remain in the low-
beam headlamp position. The exterior lamps
are automatically switched off after the vehicle
is parked.
If necessary, switch on the parking lamps as
described in the section about parking lamps.

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 LED
next to the symbol is illuminated when the low
beams are on.
When driving into tunnels with bright overhead
lights, there may be a delay before the head-
lamps come on.
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

When the daytime driving lamps are activated,
refer to page

, the low-beam headlamps are

always switched on when the switch is in posi-
tion

3 and the ignition is on.

If desired, the light switch can remain in position
3. The exterior lamps are automatically
switched off after the vehicle is parked.

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
lamps manually under these conditions.

Adjusting sensitivity

You can program how sensitively the system
reacts to ambient light.
