Rain sensor (if equipped)
CAUTION
•Do not touch the rain sensor and around it
when the wiper switch is in theorposition and the ignition switch is in
the ON position. The wipers may operate
unexpectedly and cause an injury or may
damage a wiper.
•The rain-sensing auto wipers are intended
for use during rain. If the switch is left in the
orposition, the wipers may
operate unexpectedly when dirt, finger-
prints, oil film or insects are stuck on or
around the sensor. The wipers may also op-
erate when exhaust gas or moisture affect
the rain sensor.
•When the windshield glass is coated with
water repellent, the speed of the rain-
sensing auto wipers may be higher even
though the amount of the rainfall is small.
•Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto
wiper system when you use a car wash.
•The rain-sensing auto wipers may not oper-
ate if rain does not hit the rain sensor even if
it is raining.
•Using genuine wiper blades is recom-
mended for proper operation of the rain-
sensing auto wiper system. For additional
information, refer to Wiper bladesin the
8. Do-it-yourself section.
•Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the wind-
shield becomes dirty in dry weather condi-
tions, the windshield wipers may be acti-
vated inadvertently. This could damage the
windshield wiper blades or scratch the
windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch
off the windshield wipers in dry weather.
Vehicles with a rain sensor: in the
orposition, the appropriate wiping fre-
quency is automatically set according to the
intensity of the rain. In the
position, the
rain sensor is more sensitive than in the
position, causing the windshield wiper to wipe
more frequently.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield will
no longer be wiped properly. This could prevent
you from observing the traffic conditions.
The rain-sensing auto wiper system uses the
rain sensor located on the upper part of the
windshield.

Automatic headlight mode
is the preferred light switch setting. The
light setting is automatically selected according
to the brightness of the ambient light (excep-
tion: poor visibility due to weather conditions
such as fog, snow or spray):
•Ignition switch in ACC or ON position: the
side lights are switched on or off automati-
cally depending on the brightness of the
ambient light.
•With the engine running: if you have
switched on the daytime driving lights func-
tion in the vehicle information display, the
side lights and low beam headlights are
switched on or off automatically depending
on the brightness of the ambient light.
To switch on automatic headlight mode: turn the
light switch to .
WARNING
When the light switch is set to , the
low-beam headlights may not be switched on
automatically if there is fog, snow or other
causes of poor visibility due to the weather
conditions such as spray. There is a risk of an
accident
In such situations, turn the light switch to
. The automatic headlight feature is only an aid.
The driver is responsible for the vehicle lighting
at all times.
The daytime driving lights improve the detect-
ability of your vehicle during the day.
WARNING
When the daytime running light system is ac-
tive, tail lights on your vehicle are not on. It is
necessary at dusk to turn on your headlights.
Failure to do so could cause an accident injur-
ing yourself and others.
When the side lights and low-beam headlights
are switched on, the green

HIGH BEAM ASSIST (LED HEADLIGHT
ONLY)
You can use this function to set the headlights
to change between low beam and high beam
automatically. The system recognizes vehicles
with their lights on, either approaching from the
opposite direction or traveling in front of your
vehicle, and consequently switches the head-
lights from high beam to low beam.
The system automatically adapts the low beam
headlight range depending on the distance to
the other vehicle. Once the system no longer
detects any other vehicles, it switches on the
high beam headlights again.
The system’s optical sensor is located behind
the windshield near the overhead control panel.
WARNING
•The high beam assist system is a conve-
nience but is not a substitute for safe driv-
ing operation. The driver should remain
alert at all times, ensure safe driving prac-
tices and switch the high beams and low
beam manually when necessary.
•The high beam or low beam may not switch
automatically under the following condi-
tions. Switch the high beam and low beam
manually.– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
wind, etc.).
– When a light source similar to a head-
light or tail light is in the vicinity of the
vehicle.
– When the headlights of the oncoming
vehicle or the leading vehicle are turned
off, when the color of the light is affected
due to foreign materials on the lights, or
when the light beam is out of position.
– When there is a sudden, continuous
change in brightness.
– When driving on a road that passes over
rolling hills, or a road that has level dif-
ferences.
– When driving on a road with many
curves. –
When a sign or mirror-like surface is re-
flecting intense light towards the front of
the vehicle.
– When the container, etc. being towed by
a leading vehicle is reflecting intense
light.
– When a headlight on your vehicle is dam-
aged or dirty.
– When the vehicle is leaning at an angle
due to a punctured tire, being towed, etc.
•The timing of switching the low beam and
high beam may change under the following
situations.
– The brightness of the headlights of the
oncoming vehicle or leading vehicle.
– The movement and direction of the on-
coming vehicle and the leading vehicle.
– When only one light on the oncoming
vehicle or the leading vehicle is illumi-
nated.
– When the oncoming vehicle or the lead-
ing vehicle is a two-wheeled vehicle.
– Road conditions (incline, curve, the road
surface, etc.).
– The number of passengers and the
amount of luggage.
•High beam Assist does not recognize road
users:
– Who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians.
NDS595
Instruments and controls2-67

–Who have low intensity lighting, e. g.
cyclists.
– Whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a bar-
rier.
•In very rare cases, High beam Assist recog-
nizes road users too late or not at all. In this,
or in similar situations, the automatic high
beam headlights will not be deactivated or
activated regardless. There is a risk of an
accident.
•Always carefully observe the traffic condi-
tions and switch off the high beam head-
lights in good time.
CAUTION
High beam Assist cannot compensate for road
and weather circumstances while driving. The
system saves the driver from having to operate
the switch. The driver always remains respon-
sible for choosing the correct light setting.
Specific situations in which to operate the
headlight switch manually:
•In heavy rain, snowy conditions. (general
poor visibility and bad weather conditions).
•When the vehicle sensors are dirty, covered
or broken.
Switching High Beam Assist on/off
To switch on:
