Lamps
Parking lamps/low beams
Automatic headlamp control*
If the daytime running light is activated, refer to
page 91, it is switched on when the light switch
is in position 3 and the ignition is on. Depending
on ambient light conditions, the low beams are
switched on automatically, 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.

Parking lamps
In switch position 1, the front, rear and side
vehicle lighting is switched on. You can use the
parking lamps for parking.
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
low-beam headlamps manually under these
conditions.<
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. It is preferable to switch on the left-
hand or right-hand roadside parking lamps,
refer to page 92.<

exterior lamps are switched off automatically
when the driver's door is opened while the igni-
tion is off.
