Lamps
Parking lamps/Low beams
remind you that the lamps have not been
switched off.
Daytime driving lamps*
If you desire, the light 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 settings for
the daytime driving lamps programmed
on your vehicle.<
Parking lamps
Automatic headlamp control*
The front, rear and side vehicle lighting
is switched on. You can use the parking
lamps to signal the position of the vehi-
cle when it is parked. For information on lighting
on one side of the vehicle for parking, which is
available as an additional feature, refer to
page 57.
When the switch is set to this position,
the system automatically activates and
cancels the low beams in response to
changes in ambient light, for example in tun-
nels, at dusk, and when it is raining or snowing.
The low-beam headlamps remain on
regardless of the ambient light when you
switch on the fog lamps.<
Low beams
When you switch off the ignition with
the low beam headlamps on, only the
parking lamps will remain on.
Automatic headlamp control cannot
serve as a substitute for the driver's jud-
gement in determining when the vehicle lights
should be switched on. For example, the sen-
sors are not able to detect fog. To avoid safety
risks, you should respond to these kinds of low-
visibility situations by switching the headlamps
on manually.<
Defective bulb
The indicator lamp lights up:
At least one bulb of the vehicle's exte-
rior lighting has failed.
You can have the sensitivity of your vehi-
cle's automatic headlamp control
adjusted.<
For replacing bulbs refer to page 91.
Follow me home lamps
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 activated/
deactivated if you wish.<
LIGHTS ON warning
Whenever you open the driver's door after hav-
ing turned the ignition key to position 0, you will
hear an acoustic signal for a few seconds to
