conditions such as spray. There is a risk of an
accident.
In such situations, turn the light switch to
0058.
The automatic headlamp feature is only an
aid. The driver is responsible for the vehicle's lighting at all times.
Canada only:
The daytime running lamps improve the visi-
bility of your vehicle during the day. The day-
time running lamps function is required by law in Canada. It cannot therefore be deactivated.
When the engine is running and the vehicle is
stationary: if you move the selector lever from
a drive position to P, the daytime running
lamps/low-beam headlamps go out after
three minutes.
When the engine is running, the vehicle is
stationary and in bright ambient light: if you
turn the light switch to 0060, the daytime
running lamps and parking lamps switch on.
If the engine is running and you turn the light switch to 0058, the manual settings take
precedence over the daytime running lamps.
USA only:
The daytime running lamps improve the visi-
bility of your vehicle during the day. To do this,
the daytime running lamps function must be
switched on using the on-board computer
(Y page 243).
If the engine is running and you turn the light
switch to 0060or0058, the manual settings
take precedence over the daytime running
lamps.
0058 is the favored light switch setting. The
light setting is automatically selected accord- ing to the brightness of the ambient light
(exception: poor visibility due to weather con-
ditions such as fog, snow or spray):
R SmartKey in position 1in the ignition lock:
the parking lamps are switched on or off automatically depending on the brightness
of the ambient light.
R With the engine running: if you have acti-
vated the "daytime running lamps" function
via the on-board computer, the daytime
running lamps or the parking lamps and the
low-beam headlamps are switched on or off automatically depending on the brightnessof the ambient light.
X To switch on automatic headlamp
mode: turn the light switch to 0058.
Low-beam headlamps
Even if the light sensor does not detect that it is dark, the parking lamps and low-beam
headlamps switch on when the ignition is
switched on and the light switch is set to the 0058 position. This is a particularly useful
function in the event of rain and fog.
X To switch on the low-beam headlamps:
turn the SmartKey in the ignition lock to
position 2or start the engine.
X Turn the light switch to 0058.
The green 0058indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up.
Parking lamps ! If the battery has been excessively dis-
charged, the parking lamps or standing
lamps are automatically switched off to
enable the next engine start. Always park
your vehicle safely and sufficiently lit
according to legal standards. Avoid the
continuous use of the 0060parking lamps
for several hours. If possible, switch on the
0064 right or the 0063left standing lamp.
X To switch on: turn the light switch to 0060.
The green 0060indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up.

defroster can be activated again. Activating/deactivating air-recircula-
tion mode
General notes You can also temporarily deactivate the flow
of fresh air manually if unpleasant odors are
entering the vehicle from outside. The air
already inside the vehicle will then be recir-
culated.
If you switch on air-recirculation mode, the
windows can fog up more quickly, in particu-
lar at low temperatures. Only use air-recircu-
lation mode briefly to prevent the windows
from fogging up.

Air-recirculation mode is automatically acti-
vated at high levels of pollution or at high out- side temperatures. The indicator lamp in the
0072 rocker switch is not lit when automatic
air-recirculation mode is activated. Outside
air is added after about 30 minutes.
X To deactivate: press the0072rocker
switch up or down.
The indicator lamp in the 0072rocker
switch goes out. Air-recirculation mode deactivates automati-
cally:
R after approximately five minutes at outside
temperatures below approximately 41 ‡

R after approximately five minutes if cooling
with air dehumidification is deactivated
R after approximately 30 minutes at outside
temperatures above approximately 41 ‡

tion" function is activated Activating/deactivating the residual
heat function
General notes Once the engine is switched off, it is possible
