Switching lights on and off 
Switching on side lights

Switching on the low beam and main beam

switch on the main beam  page 66, fig. 52.
Switching off the main beam
– If you push the lever towards the steering wheel in direction of arrow (spring-
tensioned position)  page 66, fig. 52, the main beam is switched off.
Switching off lights (except daylight driving lights)
– Turn the light switch into position°0.
When the parking lights are switched on, the symbol  next to the light switch is illu-
minated.
Low beam comes on only if the ignition is switched on. After switching off the ignition,
the low beam is switched off automatically and only the side lights come on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in  fig. 46. The symbols which mark the switch positions are iden-
tical, however.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other
oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
Note
 An audible warning will sound if you withdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.
 The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the driver's
door is closed (ignition off). The vehicle can be parked with the side lights on.
 If the car is parked for a lengthy period, we recommend switching off all lights, or
leaving only the parking lights switched on.
 The switching on of the described lights should only be undertaken in accordance
with the legal requirements.
 If a fault occurs in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically
 In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted up
from inside.
 The temperature difference between interior and external area of the headlight
lenses is decisive.
 When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free from
mist after a short period. The headlight lenses can possibly mist up at the border
areas.
 It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights.
 This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system.
