Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models as
well as standard and optional equipment of your
vehicle that were available at the time of going
to print. Country-specific variations are possi-
ble. Note that your vehicle may not be equipped
with all of the described functions. This also
applies to systems and functions relevant to
safety.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops (
Ypage 31).
Exterior lighting

Low-beam headlamps
When the ignition is switched on and the light

and low-beam headlamps are switched on even
if the light sensor does not sense dark ambient
light. This is particularly useful when there is fog
or rain.
XTo switch on: turn the key to position 2in the
ignition lock or start the engine.
XTurn the light switch to the Lposition.
The L indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up.

Automatic headlamp mode
GWARNING
When the light switch is set to Ã, the low-
beam headlamps 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
L.
Automatic headlamp mode is only a driving aid.
You are responsible for the vehicle lighting at all
times.
When the parking lamps and low-beam head-
lamps are switched on, the green T(parking
lamps) and L(low-beam headlamps) indica-
tor lamps in the instrument cluster light up.
à 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):
RKey in position 1in the ignition lock: the
standing lamps are switched on or off auto-
matically depending on the brightness of the
ambient light.
RWhen the engine is on: depending on the
ambient light, the daytime running lamps or
the parking lamps and low-beam headlamps
are switched on/off automatically.
XTo switch on automatic headlamp mode:
turn the light switch to Ã.
Fog lamps/rear fog lamp
You can only switch the fog lamps on or off
manually in vehicles which have fog lamps
installed.
Front fog lamps help you to see and be seen in
conditions of poor visibility due to fog or pre-
cipitation. They can only be operated together
with the parking lamps or with the low-beam
headlamps.
The rear fog lamp improves visibility of your
vehicle for the traffic behind in the event of
heavy fog. Observe the legal requirements of the
country you are currently in when using the rear
fog lamp.
XTurn the light switch to LorÃ.
XTurn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
or start the engine.
XTo switch the front fog lamps on/off: press
the N button.
When the green Nindicator lamp in the
instrument cluster goes on, the fog lamps are
switched on.
XTo switch the rear fog lamp on/off: press
the R button.
When the yellow Rindicator lamp in the
instrument cluster goes on, the rear fog lamp is switched on.
Standing lamps
!If the battery charge is very low, the stand-
ing lamps will switch off automatically to ena-
ble the next engine start. Always park your
vehicle in accordance with legal regulations,
in a secure and adequately lit location. Avoid leaving the Tparking lamps on for several
hours. If possible, switch on the right Xor
left W standing lamp.
Switching on the standing lamps ensures that
the corresponding side of the vehicle is illumi-
nated.
