Lights
Driving abroad
The light beam of the dipped beam lights is
asymmetric: the side of the road on which
you are driving is lit more intensely.
When a car that is manufactured in a country
that drives on the right travels to a country
that drives on the left (or vice versa), it is
normally necessary to cover part of the
headlight bulbs with stickers or to change
the adjustment of the headlights to avoid
dazzling other drivers.
In such cases, the regulations specify certain
light values that must be complied with for
designated points of the light distribution.
This is known as “Tourist light”.
The light distribution of the headlights allows
the specific “tourist light” values to be met
without the need for stickers or changes be-
ing made to the settings.
Note
“Tourist light” is only allowed temporarily. If
you are planning a long stay in a country
that drives on the other side, you should
take the vehicle to an Authorised Technical
Service to change the headlights.

In certain cases,when the engine is running

ing through a tunnel without having activa-
ted the
function, a
Switch on the

ment panel.
Interior and reading lights

Glove compartment and luggage com-
partment lighting*
When opening and closing the glove com-
partment on the front passenger side and
the rear lid, the respective light will automati-
cally switch on and off.
Footwell lighting*
The lights in the footwell area below the dash
(driver and front passenger sides) will switch
on when the doors are opened and will de-
crease in intensity while driving. This intensity
can be changed through the infotainment
system menu (key

page 88 ).
Ambient light*
The ambient light lights up the area of the
centre console, the footwell area and, de-
pending on the version, the front door pan-
els.
The ambient lighting in the door panels may
change colour. The intensity and colour can
be adjusted through the infotainment system
menu (key
> SETTINGS > Background
lighting
›››
page 88 ).
Note
The reading lights go out when the vehicle
is closed and locked or after a few minutes
of turning the ignition off. This prevents the
battery from discharging.
