Lights and Vision

— Only the front headlights turn on when the
daytime running lights are switched on*. In
vehicles in certain markets, the tail lights
will also turn on.
—In cool or damp weather, the inside of the
headlights, turn signals, and tail lights can
fog
over due to the temperature difference
between the inside and outside. They will
clear shortly after switching them on. This
does not affect the service life of the light-
ing.
— When the parking lights are switched on
and the ignition is switched off, the 00-} sym-
bol appears in the light switch module.

The lever operates the turn signals, the high
beams and the headlight flasher.

er into a turn signal position when the ignition is
switched on. The respective a or B indicator
light flashes.
@ - Right turn signal
@ - Left turn signal
The turn signal blinks three times if you tap the
lever (convenience turn signal).

rected.

sistant*) > page 49

will turn on.

Z\ WARNING
High beams can cause glare for other drivers,
which increases the risk of an accident. For
this reason, only use the high beams or the
headlight flasher when they will not create
glare for other drivers.
High beam assistant
Applies to: vehicles with high beam assistant

The high beam assistant automatically turns the
high beams on or off depending on the surround-
ing conditions.
A camera on the rearview mirror mount can de-
tect light sources from other road users. The high
beams switch on or off automatically depending
on the position of vehicles driving ahead and on-
coming vehicles, the vehicle speed as well as oth-
er environmental factors and traffic conditions.
Switching on the high beam assistant

set and the high beam assistant must be switch-
ed onin the MMI > page 51.
> To activate the high beam assistant, tap the
lever forward @) > page 49, fig. 37. The fa in-
dicator light appears in the instrument cluster
display and the high beams are switched on or

pletely or partially switched on, the Ea indica-
tor light will turn on.

matically as expected, you may switch them on or
off manually instead:

The emergency flashers help to make other driv-
ers aware of your vehicle in dangerous situations.
