Hazard warning lights
Fig. 95
Dash panel: hazard warning lights switch
The hazard warning lights are used to draw
the attention of other road users to your ve-
hicle in emergencies.
If your vehicle breaks down:
1.
Park your vehicle at a safe distance from
moving traffic.
2.
Press the button to switch on the hazard
warning lights
›››
.
3.
Switch the ignition off.
4.
Apply the electronic parking brake.
5. Move the selector lever to position
P.
6. Use the warning triangle to draw the at-
tention of other road users to your vehi-
cle.
7. Always take the vehicle key with you when
you leave the vehicle.
All turn signals flash simultaneously when the
hazard warning lights are switched on. The
two turn signal turn signal lamps
and the
turn signal lamp in the switch
will flash at
the same time. The simultaneous hazard
warning lights also work when the ignition is
switched off.
Emergency braking warning
If the vehicle brakes suddenly and continu-
ously at a speed of more than 80 km/h (50
mph), the brake light flashes several times
per second to warn the vehicles driving be-
hind. If you continue braking, the hazard
warning lights will come on automatically
when the vehicle comes to a standstill. They
switch off automatically when the vehicle
starts to move again.
WARNING
●
The risk of an accident increases if your
vehicle breaks down. Always use the hazard
warning lights and a warning triangle to
draw the attention of other road users to
your stationary vehicle.
●
Due to the high temperatures that the
catalytic converter can reach, never park in
an area where the catalytic converter could
come into contact with highly inflammable
materials, for example dry grass or spilt
petrol. This could start a fire.
Note
●
The battery will run down if the hazard
warning lights are left on for a long time,
even if the ignition is switched off.
●
The use of the hazard warning lights de-
scribed here is subject to the relevant stat-
utory requirements.
Dynamic headlight range control
The headlight range is automatically adjus-
ted according to the vehicle load status
when they are switched on.
WARNING
Heavy objects in the vehicle may mean that
the headlights dazzle and distract other
drivers. This could result in a serious acci-
dent.
●
Adjust the light beam to the vehicle load
status so that it does not blind other driv-
ers.
