Warning! G
If the exterior lamp switch is set to U,
 the headlamps may switch off unex-
pectedly when the system senses
bright ambient light, for example light
from oncoming traffic.
 the headlamps will not be automatical-
ly switched on under foggy conditions.
To minimize risk to you and to others, acti-
vate headlamps by turning exterior lamp
switch to
B when driving or when traf-
fic and/or ambient lighting conditions re-
quire you to do so.
In low ambient lighting conditions, only
switch from position
U to B with
the vehicle at a standstill. Switching
from
U to B will briefly switch off
the headlamps. Doing so while driving in
low ambient lighting conditions may result
in an accident.
The automatic headlamp feature is only an
aid to the driver. The driver is responsible
for the operation of the vehicle's lights at
all times.

lamp cannot be switched on manual-
ly with exterior lamp switch in
position U. To activate the fog
