wipers may operate unexpectedly when dirt,
fingerprints, oil film or insects are covering
the windscreen of the rain sensor location.
The wipers may also operate when exhaust
gas or moisture affects the rain sensor.
•Do not touch or cover the windscreen where
the rain sensor is located. The wipers may
operate unexpectedly when the wiper switchis in the AUTO position and the ignition switch
is in the ON position. This can cause an injury
or a wiper damage.

changes from low beam to high beam automatically.Precautions:
WARNING
The dynamic high beam assistant cannot com-
pensate for road and weather circumstances
while driving. The system saves the driver from
having to operate the switch. The driver always
remains responsible for choosing the correct
light setting.
Specific situations in which to operate the head
light switch manually:
•In heavy rain, snowy conditions. (general poor
visibility and bad weather conditions).
•When the vehicle sensors are dirty, covered
or broken.
Dynamic high beam assistant activated:
When the headlight switch is in the AUTO position,
the light sensor detects darkness, and the vehicle
speed is over 20 km/h (15 MPH), the dynamic high
beam assistant is operational. The dynamic high
beam assistant indicator light
in the instrument
panel is on.
The system operates as follows:
•High beam comes on automatically in dark con-
ditions:
If the vehicle speed is over 40 km/h (25 MPH)
and no other road users are recognised.
The
high beam light (blue) comes on addi-
tionally.
•High beam turns off automatically:
If the vehicle speed drops below 25 km/h (15
MPH) or other road users are detected.
The
High beam light (blue) turns off.
To disable the dynamic high beam assistant:
To turn the dynamic high beam assistant off turn the
head light switch to the OFF,

headlight switch toward you once will activate the
headlight for approximately 30 seconds. After that
period of time, it will automatically switch off.
It is possible to pull the headlight switch up to four
times to increase the lighting period up to 2 minutes.
NOTE
The “Friendly Lighting” function can be cancelled
by switching the ignition switch to the Acc or ON
position again.

The battery save feature prevents your vehicle from
discharging the battery after you have left the exter-
nal lights, map lamps or room lamps on when exit-

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-9

•A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is driven
without releasing the parking brake. See “Au-
dible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section.
•While the electric parking brake is applied or
released, an operating sound is heard from
the lower side of the rear seat. This is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.
•When the electric parking brake is frequently
applied and released in a short period of time,
the parking brake may not operate in order to
prevent the parking brake system from over-
heating. If this occurs, operate the electric
parking brake switch again after waiting ap-
proximately 1 minute.
•The electric parking brake can only be re-
leased with the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion.
•If the electric parking brake must be applied
while driving in an emergency, pull up and
hold the parking brake switch. When you re-
lease the parking brake switch, the parking
brake will be released.
•While pulling up the electric parking brake
switch while driving, the parking brake is ap-
plied and a chime sounds. The parking brake
indicator light in the meter and in the parking
brake switch illuminate. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction. The electric parking brake
indicator lights in the meter and in the parking
brake switch turn off when the parking brake
is released.
•Pull up the electric parking brake switch twice
so that the maximum electric parking brake
force is applied to the vehicle.
•When pulling the electric parking brake switch
up with the ignition switch in the OFF or ACC
position, the parking brake switch indicator
light will continue to illuminate for a short pe-
riod of time.
CAUTION
To park the vehicle in cold climates place the
shift lever in 1st (1) or Reverse (R) (or in Park (P)
for automatic (AT) vehicles), and place suitable
chocks at both the front and back of a wheel with
the electric parking brake released. If the electric
parking brake is applied in cold climates, the
brake may become frozen and cannot be re-
leased.
DRIVING AWAY WHEN TOWING A
TRAILER
Please note the following points to prevent the ve-
hicle from rolling back unintentionally on a gradient.
•Pull and hold the parking brake switch and press
the accelerator. The parking brake will remain
engaged and prevent any tendency to roll back
down the slope.
•You can release the parking brake switch as
soon as the engine is delivering enough power
to the wheels.
Depending on the weight of the vehicle and trailer
and the steepness of the slope, there may be a ten-dency to roll back downhill when driving away from
a standstill. You can prevent this by pulling up the
parking brake switch as you press the accelerator
(in the same way as with a conventional handbrake).
