When you open the driver's door with the ignition switched off, the exterior lighting is automatically switched off if the light switch is in position 0, 2or 3.
Switch on the parking lamps if necessary, switch position 1.
Parking lampsIn switch position 1, the front, rear and side vehicle lighting is switched on. You can use the parking lamps for parking.
With halogen headlamps: when the ignition is switched off and the switch is in position 1, only the outside sections of the rear lamps are illuminated.
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. It is preferable to switch
on the lefthand or right-hand roadside parking lamps.
The low beams light up when the light switch is in position 2and the ignition is on.
Automatic headlamp controlWhen 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 Adaptive Light Controlis active. The LED next to the symbol is illuminated when the low beams are on. You can also activate the daytime running lights. In the situations described above, the lamps then automatically switch from daytime running lights to low beams.
The headlamps may also come on when the sun is sitting low on a blue sky.
The low beams remain switched on independent
of the ambient lighting conditions when you switch on the fog lamps.
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.
If you leave the light switch in position 2or 3when you park the car, the parking lamps and the interior lamps light up briefly when you unlock the vehicle.
