Panoramic sliding roof* (Combi)IntroductionThe panoramic sliding roof with sun screen ca n only be operated with the control dial
when the ignition is switched on fig. 43 . The control dial has several positions.
After switching off the ignition, it is still po ssible to open, close and tilt the panoramic
sliding roof or the sun screen for approx. 10 minutes. However, it is no longer possible
to operate the panoramic sliding roof and the sun screen the moment you open one
of the front doors.Opening and tilting the panoramic sliding roofComfort position– Turn the switch to position page 57, fig. 43 .Open partially– Turn the switch to a position in area .Open fully– Turn the switch to position and hold it in this position (spring-tensioned posi-
tion).Tilting and closing– In order to tilt, press the switch on the recess in the direction of the roof. – In order to close, press down the switch on the recess and then push it forwards.
When the panoramic sliding roof is in the
comfort position, the intensity of the wind
noise is reduced.
Caution
It may be necessary du ring winter to remove any ice and snow in the area of the pano-
ramic sliding roof before opening it, in order to prevent damaging the opening
mechanism.Closing the panoramic sliding roofClosing– Turn the switch to position page 57, fig. 43 .

Switching on the low beam and main beam– Switch on the ignition.
– Turn the light switch into position
.
– Push the main beam lever forward in the spring-tensioned position in order to switch on the main beam page 66, fig. 52 .
Switching off the main beam– If you push the lever towards the steering wheel in direction of arrow (spring-
tensioned position) page 66, fig. 52, the main beam is switched off.Switching off lights (except daylight driving lights)– Turn the light switch into position°0.
When the parking lights are switched on, the symbol
 next to the light switch is illu-
minated. Low beam comes on only if the ignition is switched on. After switching off the ignition,
the low beam is switched off automatica
lly 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. 46 . The symbols which mark the switch positions are iden-
tical, however.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently 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.

The switching on of the described lights should only be undertaken in accordance
with the legal requirements.

If a fault occurs in the light switch , the low beam comes on automatically

In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted up
from inside.
The temperature difference between interior and external area of the headlight
lenses is decisive.
 When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free from
mist after a short period. The headlight lens es 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.

Mode motorway
In the mode “motorway” the dispersion of the co ne of light is so widespread, that it illu-
minates also the left (and right)
7) lane of the motorway, so that the driver can react in
time to an obstacle or any other danger. The mode is activated stepwise as of a speed
of 90 km/h. It gains its greatest effectiveness at speeds above 120 km/h.
Tourist light
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system, driving
on the left/right, without dazzling the oncoming vehicles. When the mode “tourist
light” is active, the above mentioned modes and the side to side swivel of the headlight
is deactivated.
The mode “tourist light” is activated / deac tivated via the information display* in the

the emergency position, whic h prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming traffic.
Thus the illuminated length of the road is shortened. Drive carefully and have
the car inspected immediatel y by a specialist garage.
