Daytime running lights: In vehicles for countries where daytime running
lights are obligatory and in all vehicles with AFS headlights, daytime run-
ning lights are turned on or off with the ignition. Daytime running lights
have main beam flashers, as usual, but not the dipped beam headlight
function
The dipped beam headlights will only work with the ignition on. The head-
lights are automatically switched to side lights after the ignition has been
switched off.
If the side lights or the dipped beam headlights are turned on, the sym-
bol will come on together with the lights switch.
Note
● If the lights are left on after the key has been taken out of the ignition
lock, a buzzer sounds when the driver door is opened.
● Observe all relevant legal requirements when using the signalling and
lighting systems described here.
● Depending on weather conditions (cold or wet), the front lights, the fog
lights, the tail lights and the turn signals may be temporarily misted. This
has no influence on the useful life of the lighting system. By switching on
the lights, the area through which the beam of light is projected will quickly
be demisted. However, the edges may continue to be misted.
