& WARNING
-Automatic headlights are only intended
to assist the driver . They do not relieve
the driver of his responsibility to check
the headlights and to turn them on man
ually according to the current light and
visibility conditions. For example, fog
cannot be detected by the light sensors.
So always switch on the headlights
io
under these weather conditions and
when driving in the dark.
- Crashes can happen when you cannot see
the road ahead and when you cannot be
seen by other motorists. Always turn on
theheadlightssothatyoucanseeahead and so that others can see your car from
the back .
- Please observe legal regulations when
using the lighting systems described .
(D Note
The rear fog lights should only be turned
on in accordance with traffic regulation, as
the lights are bright for following traffic.
{D) Tips
- The light sensor* for automatic head
light range 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 malfunc
tions or failures .
- In the event of a light sensor malfunc
tion, the driver is notified in the instru
ment cluster display ~
page 22 .
-You will hear a warning tone if you open
the driver door when the exterior lights
are switched on.
- In cool or damp weather, the inside of
the headlights, turn signals and tail lights can fog over due to the tempera
ture difference between the inside and
outside. They will clear shortly after
switching them on. This does not affect
the service life of the lighting.

A WARNING
- The ra in sensor is only des igned to assist
and support the drive r.
It remains entire
ly the dr iver's respons ibility to monito r
o utside wea ther conditions and to man
ually activate the wipers as soon as rain
or drizzle reduces visib ility through the
windshield.
- The windshie ld must not be treated with
water-repe llent materials. They can in
crease glare under poor visib ility condi
t ions such as wetness, darkness, or when
the sun is low on the horizon. In addi
t io n, they can cause the wi ndshield wip
ers to chatter .
- Properly fu nctioning windshie ld w iper
blades are required fo r a clear view and
safe dr iv ing
c::> page 48, Replacing
windshield wiper blades .
(D Note
- In the case of frost, check whether the
winds hield wiper b lades a re frozen to
the windshie ld. Switching on the wind
s h ield wipers can damage the wipe r
blades!
- Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
wipe r system must be switched off (lever
i n position @). This helps to prevent un
i ntent ional sw itching on and damage to
the windshie ld w iper system. - Do not
use the w ipers to clear a frosted
w indow . Us ing the wipers as a conven
ient ice scrape r will destroy the wiper
blades.
(D Tips
- The windshie ld w ipers are switched off
w hen the ignit ion is off. Activate the
w indshield wipers after the ign ition is
switched back on by moving the w ind
shield wiper lever to any position .
- Worn or d irty windshield wiper blades
result in streaking. This can affect the
rain sensor function . Check your wind
shield wiper blades regularly.
- The washer fluid nozz les of the wind
shield washe r system a re heated at low
tempe rat ures when the ignition is on .
- Whe n stopping temporarily, e.g . at a
traffic light, the set speed of the wind
shield w ipe rs is automatically reduced by
one speed.
