NOTE
When driving in daylight conditions, the headlights will switch off and the daytimerunning lights will come on. In darkness,the daytime running lights will switch offand the Active Bending Lights will switchon.
The ABL function is activated automatically when the engine is started and the headlight switch is in the
position and can be
deactivated/reactivated by pressing the but- ton in the center console (see page 64.
LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
To help conserve fuel by reducing the use of electrical current in the vehicle, DRL can beused in daylight conditions instead of the lowbeam headlights, which consume more elec-trical current. The daytime running lights aremounted in the front spoiler and use bright,electricity-saving LEDs (light emitting diodes).
Press button A to activate automatic DRL in day-
light driving conditions
With the headlight switch in the
posi-
tion as shown in the illustration, press the button with the A symbol to activate the auto-
matic LED daytime running lights in daylightdriving conditions (the indicator light in thebutton will illuminate). A light sensor thenmonitors the ambient lighting conditions andautomatically switches from LED DRL to thelow beam headlights in weaker ambient light(and will switch back to DRL when the ambi-ent light becomes brighter). Press the buttonagain (the indicator light in the switch will turnoff) to switch on the headlights. The LED DRLs will also switch off automati-cally (and the low beams will switch on) if:
• The rear fog light is switched on
• The windshield wipers are switched on for more than 10 seconds
If the LED DRL function was activated when the ignition was switched off, it will be activewhen the ignition is switched on again.
WARNING
• DRL is a driving aid designed to help conserve electrical current. This sys-tem cannot always determine if theambient lighting conditions are suffi-cient for switching from low beams toDRL (or vice versa). It is always thedriver's responsibility to visually deter-mine if the low beam headlights shouldbe used.
• As the driver, you have full responsibil-ity for operating the vehicle in a safemanner.

2. Driving distance on current fuel
reserve
This function shows the approximate dis-tance that can be driven on the fuel remainingin the tank. The calculation is based on aver-age fuel consumption during the last 20 miles(30 km) of driving and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank when the reading wastaken. When
"----" is displayed in the text window,
refuel as soon as possible.
