Parking lights on one side
When the parking lights are switched on, the headlight with side light and parts of the tail light
cluster on the corresponding side of the vehicle light up.
•Switch off the ignition.
•Move the turn signal and main beam lever from the centre position to the following position:
Right-hand parking light is switched on.
Left-hand parking light is switched on.
•Return the turn signal and main beam lever to the basic position in order to switch off the
parking lights.
The parking light only lights up when the ignition is switched off and if the turn signal and main
beam lever was in the central position before being operated.
Continuous parking light on both sides of the vehicle
Both headlights light up with side lights as well as parts of the tail light clusters if continuous parking
light on both sides of the vehicle is switched on:
•With the ignition on, turn the light switch to the position .
•Switch off the ignition.
•Lock the vehicle from outside.
Automatic switch-off for side lights and parking lights
The side lights and parking lights drain the 12-volt vehicle battery when switched on. In order to
ensure that the engine can be started, the side lights and parking lights are automatically switched
off when the charge level of the 12 V vehicle battery is so low that there is a risk of no longer being
able to restart the vehicle. Switch-off takes place at the earliest after the side and parking lights
have been switched on for two hours.
The side lights and parking lights will not switch off automatically if there is insufficient battery
capacity for them to remain switched on for two hours. In this case, the side lights and parking lights
will remain switched on until the 12-volt vehicle battery is fully discharged. It will no longer be
possible to restart the engine ⇒.
Coming Home and Leaving Home function (orientation lightingyf
The Coming home and Leaving home functions illuminate the area directly next to the vehicle when
getting into and leaving the vehicle in darkness.

The switch-off delay can be set and the function can also be activated and deactivated in
the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Operation and display in the Infotainment system in the
Infotainment system:
Accidents and serious injuries can occur if the vehicle is parked without sufficient
illumination, as other road users might have difficulty seeing the vehicle, or may not see it
at all.
•Always park the vehicle securely and with sufficient lighting. Observe any applicable
local legislation.
•If the vehicle lighting is required for several hours, switch on the right or left parking
light if possible. The illumination time of the one-sided parking light is generally double
that of the continuous parking light on both sides.

When parking the vehicle in cold weather, it may be helpful to leave the windscreen wipers in
the service position to make it easier to loosen the wiper blades ⇒ Wiper blades.
Wiper functions
Automatic activation of the rear window wiper
The rear window wiper is switched on automatically if the front windscreen wipers are switched on
and reverse gear is engaged. The automatic wipe function can be activated and deactivated in the
Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Operation and display in the
Infotainment system:
Heated washer jets
The heating defrosts frozen washer jets. The heating output is regulated automatically when the
ignition is switched on depending on the ambient temperature. Only the jets are heated and not the
hoses carrying the washer fluid.
Headlight washer system
The headlight washer system cleans the headlight lenses and only works when the vehicle lighting
is switched on.
Once the ignition has been switched on, the headlights will also be washed the first time the wash
and wipe system for the windscreen is used, and every tenth time thereafter. Hardened dirt, such
as insect remains, should be removed from the headlight lens at regular intervals.
In winter, you should remove any snow from the headlight washer system covers in the bumper
prior to use to keep the system in working order. Remove any ice with a de-icer spray.
Rain/light sensor
Fig. 103 On the right of the steering column: wiper lever.
When the rain/light sensor is activated, it automatically controls the frequency of the wiper intervals,
depending on the intensity of the rain.
Activating and deactivating the rain/light sensor

Changes in the response of the rain/light sensor
Possible causes for faults and misinterpretations relating to the sensitive surface of the rain/light
sensor ⇒ Vehicle overviews include:
•Damaged wiper blades: a film of water or smears caused by damaged wiper blades can
increase the time the wipers are switched on, can shorten the length of the intervals between
wipes or cause the wipers to run quickly and continuously.
•Insects: insects hitting the windscreen surface can cause the wipers to be activated.
•Salt deposits: in winter, salt deposits on the windscreen can cause the wipers to continue to
wipe the windscreen when it is almost dry.
•Soiling: dry dust, wax, windscreen coatings (lotus effectyf R U G H W H U J H Q W G H S R V L W V I U R P D Q

slowly, or prevent it from reacting at all. Clean the sensitive surface of the rain/light sensor
⇒ Caring for and cleaning the vehicle exterior at regular intervals and inspect the wiper blades
for damage.
•Crack in the windscreen: a wipe cycle will be triggered if the rain/light sensor is on when the
windscreen is impacted by a stone. The rain/light sensor will then register the reduction in
sensitivity of the surfaces and adjust accordingly. The size of the crack can affect the way in
which the rain/light sensor activates the wipers.
We recommend that you use an alcohol-based glass cleaner to remove wax and polish.
The wipers will try to wipe away any obstacles that are on the windscreen. The wipers will
stop moving if the obstacle blocks their path. Remove the obstacle and switch the wipers back on
again.
Mirrors
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Interior mirror
⇒ Exterior mirrors
You can use the exterior mirrors and the interior mirror to observe traffic behind you and adjust
driving style accordingly.
For safety reasons it is important that the driver positions the exterior and interior mirrors correctly
before starting a journey ⇒.
Looking in the exterior mirrors and the interior mirror does not allow the driver to see the entire side
and rear area of the vehicle. The area that cannot be seen is known as the blind spot. There may
be objects and other road users in the blind spot.
Adjusting the exterior and interior mirrors while driving may cause the driver to become
distracted. This can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
•Exterior and interior mirrors should only be adjusted when the vehicle is stationary.
•When parking, changing lane, or performing an overtaking or turning manoeuvre,
always pay careful attention to the area around the vehicle as objects and other road
users may be located in the blind spot.
•Always ensure that the mirrors are positioned correctly and that the rear view is not
restricted by ice, snow, condensation or any other objects.
WARNING
If you estimate the distance from traffic behind you incorrectly, you can cause accidents
and serious injuries.
•Curved mirrors (convex or asphericyf H Q O D U J H W K H I L H O G R I Y L V L R Q D Q G F D Q P D N H R E M H F W V L Q

•Using curved mirrors to estimate the distance from other vehicles behind you when
changing lanes can provide inaccurate results and can lead to accidents and severe
injuries.
•Whenever possible, use the interior mirror to check the exact distance between your
vehicle and following traffic or other objects.
•Ensure that you have a good view to the rear of the vehicle.

⇒ Troubleshooting
The Park Distance Control system
assists the driver when manoeuvring
and parking.
Park Distance Control detects the distance from an obstacle by means of sensors in the front and
rear bumpers ⇒ Vehicle overviews. If there is an obstacle in the detection range of the sensors, the
system indicates this on the Infotainment system and by means of signal tones.
System limits
The sensors may not always be able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars, thin rails, fences,
posts, trees, very low or high obstacles and open or opening boot lids.
In some cases, dirt and ice on the sensors could be registered as an obstacle.
