lights, the tail lights and the turn signals may be temporarily misted. This has
no influence on the useful life of the lighting system. By switching on the
lights, the area through which the beam of light is projected will quickly be
demisted. However, the edges may continue to be misted.

the main beam headlights, however, please note the following: If you enable the main beam headlights while using the automatic headlights function
during the day
(e.g. when driving through a tunnel), but do not disable them
again, only the dipped beam headlights will come on the next time the lights
are automatically switched on. To be able to use the main beam headlights
again, you must first pull the main beam lever back to the "off" position and
then push it forward again to "on".
The side lights, headlights, fog lights and rear fog light can still be switched
on manually in the normal way by using lights switch ⇒page 115.

light drops below the factory preset value (for instance when driving through
a tunnel, etc.). The headlights switch off again automatically when the light
level increases ⇒.
WARNING
•The automatic dipped beam headlights are only intended to assist the
driver. Automatic dipped beam headlights do not relieve the driver of his or
her responsibility to control them and turn off or turn on the lights manu-
ally according to weather or lighting conditions. The light sensors are, for
example, unable to detect rain and fog - you should therefore always switch
on the dipped beam headlights
 manually in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
•Observe all relevant legal requirements when using the signalling and
lighting systems described here.Note
•If automatic headlight switching is activated, when the ignition is turned
off the dipped beam headlights are turned off, and when the key is removed
from the ignition the side lights are turned off.•If you have to attach any type of sticker on the windscreen, do not do so
in front of the sensors. Doing so could prevent the automatic dipped beam
