In switch position

low beams and switches them on or off in
response to changes in ambient light condi-
tions, for instance, in a tunnel, at dawn and dusk
and in case of precipitation. Adaptive Head
Light

is active. The LED next to the symbol is

illuminated when the low beams are on.
A blue sky with the sun low on the horizon can
cause the lights to be switched on.
If desired, the light switch can be left in posi-

switched off after switching off the vehicle.

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 sensors
cannot detect fog of hazy weather. To avoid
safety risks, you should always switch on the
low beams manually under these conditions.

Pathway lighting

When you activate the headlamp flasher after
parking the vehicle and switching off the lamps,
the low beams will come on for a brief period.
You can set the duration or deactivate the func-
tion via iDrive.
