Parking lamps/Low beams

Parking lamps

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

.

Low beams

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

parking lamps remain on.

Follow me home lamps

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.

<

LIGHTS ON warning

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.

Daytime driving lamps*

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.

<

Automatic headlight control*

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.
