T he daytime running lights can be turned on
or off using this function. If the function is ac­
tive, the daytime running lights are turned on

(e .g. when driving into a tunnel) falls below a
value preset at the factory. When ambient
brightness increases aga in, the low beams are
turned off again automatically ¢.&. .
In the
AUTO position the low beams are

AUTO* .
However, you can continue to turn the lights
on and off using the light switch . Have the
Ill>-

light sensor checked as soon as possible at a
dealership.
Adaptive light *
The benefit of adaptive l ight is that the curve
and the edge of the road are better i llum inat­
ed . The adaptive light is contro lled automati­
cally, depending on vehicle speed and steering
wheel angle.
When driving a round bends, the head lights
are contro lled according to steering wheel an­
g le . So that there is no black area ahead of the
ve hic le, the two main beams pivot at different
angles. The system works above a speed of
about 6 mph (10 km/h).

enough and w ill not let you see far
enough ahead for safety, especially at
dusk or when it is dar k. Always switch on
the low beams at dusk or when i t is dar k.
- Automatic headlights a re only intended
to assist the dr iver. They do not re lieve
t he driver of his responsibi lity to check
t he headlights and to turn them on man­
ually according to the current light and
visibility conditions. For example, fog
and rain cannot be detected by the light
sensors. So a lways switch on the head­
lights under these weather cond itions
and when driving in the dark
