– Take the activation fuse No. 17 out of the fuse box.Low beam comes on only if the ignition is
switched on. After switching off the igni-
tion, the low beam is switched off automati
cally and only the side lights come on.
On models fitted with
right-hand steering
the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in
⇒fig. 45
. The symbols which mark the switch positions are
identical. In certain countries, the low beam is on a
reduced brightness as well as the side
lights, when the ignition is switched on.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not bright enough to light up the road suffic
iently in front of you or to be seen by
other oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it is dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
•
An audible warning will sound if you wi
thdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.•
The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the
driver's door is closed (ignition off). The
vehicle can be parked
with the side lights
on.•
If the car is parked for a lengthy period
, we recommend switching off all lights,
or leaving only the parking lights switched on.

In the event of cool or humid weather co
nditions, the headligh
ts can be misted

− The temperature difference between interior and external area of the head- light lenses is decisive. − When the driving lights are switched on
, the light outlet surfaces are free
from mist after a short period. The headlight lenses can possibly mist up at the border areas. − It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights. − This mist has no influence on th
e life of the lighting system.
