& WARNING
Automatic headlights are only intended to assist the driver. They do not relieve the driver of his responsibility to check the head­
lights and to turn them on manually according to the current light
and visibility conditions. For example, fog cannot be detected by
the light sensors. So always switch on the headlights under these
weather conditions and when driving in the dark

[ i ) Tips
• The light sensor* for headlight control is located in the rear view
mirror mount. You should therefore not apply any stickers to the
windshield in this area in order to prevent malfunctions or failures.
• The sensitivity level for the light sensor* set at the factory can be
changed in the MMI* menu ~
page 55 in the automatic driving
lights function.
