Vehicle lighting
●
As soon as the lane change, overtaking or
turning manoeuvre is complete, switch o
the turn signal.
WARNING
Improper use of the main beam can cause
accidents and serious injuries, as it can dis-
tract and dazzle other drivers.
Note
●
When you turn the ignition o without hav-
ing turned the turn signals o, an audible sig-
nal sounds while the driver door is open. It is
intended to remind you to turn o the turn
signals, unless you want to leave the parking
light on.
●
If the convenience turn signals are on
(three ashes) and the convenience turn sig-
nal on the opposite side is activated, the ac-
tive side stops ashing and only ashes once
on the newly selected side.
●
The turn signal only works when the igni-
tion is switched on. The turn signals only
work when the ignition is switched on.
●
The main beam can only be switched on
when the dipped beam is switched on.
●
In cold or wet weather conditions, the
headlights, tail lights and turn signals may be
temporarily fogged from the inside. This is
normal and has no eect on the service life
of the vehicle's lighting system.
●
The parking light does not activate auto-
matically if the left- or right-hand turn signal
is left on and the ignition is disconnected.
Main beam assist (Light Assist)
The main beam assist automatically prevents
glare from aecting vehicles moving in the op-
posite direction or ahead in the same direc-
tion. In addition, the main beam assist detects
illuminated areas and disconnects the main
beam headlight when passing populated areas.
Within its limitations, the assist system auto-
matically connects or disconnects the main
beam headlight depending on the environ-
mental and traic conditions, as well as the
speed ›››

System limitations
In the following cases, the main beam head-
light must be switched o manually because
the main beam assist will not disconnect it on
time or disconnect it at all:
●
On insuiciently lit roads with highly reec-
tive signs.
●
If road users have insuicient lighting, e.g.
pedestrians or cyclists.
●
On tight curves, when the traic in the
opposite direction is partially hidden, on pro-
nounced slopes or inclinations.
●
On roads with traic in the opposite direction
and with a central reservation barrier where
the driver can see over it e.g. lorry drivers.
●
In case of fog, snow or heavy rainfall.
●
In case of swirling dust or sand.
