Parking lamps

Turn the light switch to position 1. The front, rear and side vehicle lighting is switched on. Activation of lights on one side of the vehicle for parking, page 69. The parking lamps will discharge the battery. Therefore, do not leave them on for unduly long periods of time, otherwise the battery might not have enough power to start the engine.<

Low beams

Turn the light switch to position 2. The low beams come on when the ignition is on.

Automatic headlamp control*

When the switch is in position 3, the low beams are switched on and off automatically depending on ambient light conditions, e.g. in a tunnel, in twilight, or if there is precipitation. The headlamps may also come on when the sun is sitting low on a blue sky. When driving into tunnels with bright overhead lights, there may be a delay before the headlamps come on. The low beams remain switched on independent of the ambient lighting conditions when you switch on the fog lamps* . If the daytime running lamps are activated, page 68, the low beams are always switched on with the light switch in position 3 and the ignition on. 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 respond to these kinds of low-visibility situations by switching the headlamps on manually.<

Welcome lamps

If you leave the light switch in the low beam or automatic headlamp control position when you switch off the ignition, the parking lamps and interior lamps come on for a certain time as soon as the vehicle is unlocked.

Pathway lighting

If you activate the headlamp flasher after parking the car, with the lights switched off, the low beams come on and remain on for a certain time. The setting is stored for the remote control in use, refer to Personal Profile, page 18.
