WARNING
Daytime running lights are not bright enough to let you see
ahead or be seen by others when it is dark.
Always switch on the low-beam headlights at dusk or when it
is dark and whenever the weather is bad or visibility is poor.
Never use the daytime running lights to see where you are
going. They are not bright enough and will not let you see far
enough ahead for safety, especially at dusk or when it is dark.
Always switch on the low-beam headlights at dusk or when it is
dark.
The taillights do not come on with the daytime running lights.
Unless the taillights are on, a vehicle cannot be seen by others
in bad weather, at dusk, or when it is dark.
Even if automatic headlight control (!54/) is switched on, the
low-beam headlights may still not come on by themselves in
fog or heavy rain. You have to switch on the low-beam head-
lights manually.
In cool or humid weather, the insides of the headlights, the rear
lights, and turn signals can temporarily fog up. This is normal and
does not affect the service life of the vehicle's lighting system.
Lights and vision features

If the light switch is in position !54/, a low-light sensor switches the
low beams as well as the instrument and switch lighting on and off
automatically.
Daytime running lights (DRL) parking feature
Some models are equipped with a daytime running lights (DRL) park-
ing feature that switches the daytime running lights off when the vehi-
cle is parked and the ignition is switched on.

Function Action
Switching the DRL off: – Switch the ignition on.
– Turn the light switch to the /
position.
– Set the parking brake.
Switching the DRL back on: – Release the parking brake.

Static cornering lights
Your vehicle may have fog lights under the front bumper, which on
some models are also static cornering lights. On some models the
static cornering lights may be integrated in the headlights. At speeds
below about 25 mph (40 km/h), the light on one side of the vehicle will
come on automatically when you turn a corner. If you turn to the right,
the right fog light comes on; turn left and the left fog light comes on.
The light dims and goes out when the steering wheel is straightened
out again.
When you move the selector lever to Reverse (R), the static cornering
lights on both sides of the vehicle may come on so that you can see
the area around the vehicle better when backing up.
The static cornering lights work only when the headlights are on. If
you are using automatic headlight control (headlight switch in the !54/
position ⇒ fig. 86), they work only when the headlights have been
automatically switched on. The static cornering lights do not come on
when the headlight switch is in the / position or when the fog lights
themselves have been switched on ⇒ Switching lights on and off.

WARNING
Crashes and other accidents can happen when you cannot see
the road ahead and when you cannot be seen by other motor-
ists.
Never use daytime running lights (DRL) to see where you are
going. DRL are not bright enough to light up the roadway and
be seen by other motorists. You will not be able to see far
enough ahead for safety, especially at dusk or when it is dark.
Always switch on the low-beam headlights at dusk or when it is
dark.
The taillights do not come on when the daytime running
lights are switched on. A vehicle without taillights on cannot be
seen by others in bad weather, at dusk, or when it is dark.
If automatic headlight control (!54/) is switched on, the low-
beam headlights still may not be switched on in fog or heavy
rain. You have to switch on the low-beam headlights yourself.
In cool or humid weather, the insides of the headlights, the rear
lights, and turn signals can temporarily fog up. This is normal and
does not affect the service life of the vehicle's lighting system.
