General information
When the driver's door is opened with the igni‐
tion switched off, the exterior lighting is auto‐
matically switched off when the light switch is

start the engine.
When parking, it is preferable to switch on the
one-sided roadside parking lights, refer to
page 70.
Low beams Switch position 2: the low beams are lit when
the ignition is switched on.
Automatic headlight control
Switch position 3: the low beams are switched
on and off automatically depending on the am‐
bient light, e.g., in tunnels, in twilight, or if
there is precipitation. Adaptive Light Control is
active.
A blue sky with the sun low on the horizon can
cause the lights to be switched on.
The low beams remain switched on independ‐
ent of the ambient lighting conditions when

For example, the sensors are unable to detect
fog or hazy weather. To avoid safety risks, you
should always switch on the lights manually un‐
der these conditions.
