screen wiper lever or using the adjustment wheel D
on the multifunction steer-
ing wheel.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ig-
nition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the cal-
culation of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours
after switching off the ignition. If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours,
the memory is automatically erased.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total-trip memory gathers data from any number of individual journeys up to
a total of 19
hours and 59 minutes driving or 1 999 kilometres driven, and on vehi-
cles which are fitted with an information display up to a total of 99 hours and
59 minutes driving or 9 999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when ei-
ther of these limits is reached and the calculation starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a period
of interruption of driving of 2 hours. Note
All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is dis-
connected. ÐOperation

ly locked again and the safe securing system or anti-theft alarm system is reacti-
vated. This function is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentional-
ly.
In addition, when the car is unlocked, the electrically adjustable seats and exteri-
or mirrors move into the position assigned to this key. The stored setting of driver
seat and exterior mirrors is retrieved.
Locking
The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle has been locked, the
turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
When the vehicle is unlocked or locked, the interior lights and entry lighting are
automatically switched on or off via the door contact. WARNING
If the car is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is activated,
there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open ei-
ther a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - hazard! Note
■ Only operate the remote control when the doors and boot lid are closed and the
vehicle is in your line of sight. ■ To avoid the car being locked inadvertently once in the car, the lock button  of the remote control must not be pressed before the key is inserted into the ig-
nition lock. Should this happen, press the unlock button
 of the remote control.

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching lights on and off 49

Automatic driving lamp control 49
Parking light 50
COMING HOME/LEAVING HOME function 50
Adaptive headlights (AHL) 51
Fog lights 52

Instrument lighting  53
Headlight beam adjustment  53
Switches for the hazard warning light system 53
Turn signal and main beam lever 54
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in » Fig. 30 on page
49. The symbols which mark the switch
positions are identical, however.
The low beam continues to shine while the ignition is switched on and the light
switch is in the position  or  . After switching off the ignition, the low beam
is switched off automatically and only the side lights come on. The side lights also
go out after the ignition key is removed. WARNING
■ Never drive with only the side lights on! 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. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
■ The automatic driving lamp control 
 only operates as a support and does
not release the driver from his responsibility to check the light and, if necessa-
ry, to switch on the light depending on the light conditions. The light sensor
cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under these conditions we recom-
mend switching on the low beam or fog lights! CAUTION
■ The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with na-
tional legal requirements.
■ The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the lights. Note
■ If the light switch is in the position , the ignition key is removed and the driv-
er's door is open, an audible warning signal will sound. The audible warning signal
is switched off by means of the door contact when the driver's door is closed (ig-
nition off), however, the side lights remain on to illuminate the parked vehicle if
necessary. ■ If there is a fault 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, although the headlight
lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. It also concerns reverse light
and turn signal lights. This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system. Ð
