With the steering wheel lever's lighting ring in the
position, the daytime running lights
(DRL 1
) will illuminate when the vehicle is
driven in daylight conditions. The headlights will switch automatically from daytime run-ning lights to low beams in weak daylight ordark conditions. The headlights will also switch to low beams if the front fog lights *
and/or rear fog light are activated. US models
: When
mode is selected,
the daytime running lights can be deactivated in the center display. The parking lights willalso be deactivated. In weak daylight or darkconditions, the parking lights and low beamswill be illuminated. US models : With the lighting ring in the

Active high beam (p. 155)
Active high beam
Active high beams is a function that uses camera sensors in the upper edge of thewindshield to detect the headlights ofapproaching vehicles or the taillights of thevehicle directly ahead. When either of theseis detected, the vehicle's headlights will auto-matically switch from high beams to lowbeams.
Active high beams is indicated by the symbol.
This function can be used in dark conditions when the vehicle's speed is approx. 20 km/h(approx. 12 mph) or higher. The function canalso detect street lighting. When the camerasensor no longer detects an approaching vehi-cle or a vehicle ahead, the headlights willreturn to high beams after a second or two.
Activating active high beamsActive high beams can be activated and deac-tivated by turning the lighting ring on the left- side steering wheel lever to position
.
The lighting ring will then return to
.
When active high beams are activated, a white
symbol will be displayed in the instru-
ment panel. When high beams are on, the symbol will be blue. If active high beams are deactivated when the high beams are on, the headlights will auto-matically switch to low beams.
Limitations for active high beamsThe camera sensor on which the function isbased has limitations.
If this symbol and the message
Active High Beam Temporarily
unavailable is displayed in the
instrument panel, switching
between high and low beams must be done manually. The
symbol will go out when
the message is displayed.
The same applies if this symbol along with the message

blocked, see Owner's manual is
displayed.
Active high beams may be temporarily unavail- able in certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or

symbol will be displayed.
WARNING
Automatic high beam is an aid in using the best possible light based on prevailing con-ditions. The driver is always responsible for man- ually switching between high and lowbeam when traffic situations or weatherconditions require this.

Adjusting the rearview mirror dimming function
Bright light entering the vehicle from behind, e.g. from the headlights of following vehicles,could reflect in the rearview mirror and doormirrors and cause a glare. Use the dimmingfunction when light from behind is distract-ing.
Auto-dimIf bright light enters the vehicle from behind, the door mirrors will automatically dim. Auto-dim is always active when the engine is run-ning, except when reverse gear is engaged.
NOTE
Adjustments to the sensitivity level will not be noticeable immediately but will insteadtake effect after a short period of time.
The sensitivity level for dimming will affect both the rearview mirror and door mirrors. To change the dimming sensitivity level:1. Tap
Settings in the Top view in the center
display.
2. Tap
My CarMirrors and Convenience.
3. Under
Rearview Mirror Auto Dimming,
select Normal, Dark or Light. The rearview mirror instead has two sensors - one pointing forward and one pointing rear-ward - which work together to identify andeliminate glare. The forward-pointing sensormonitors ambient light, while the rearward-pointing sensor monitors light from the head-lights of following vehicles. For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto- dim, the rearview mirror must also be equip-ped with auto-dim.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parking permit, transponder, sunshade orobjects on the seats or in the cargo com-partment in a way that prevents light fromreaching the sensors, the auto-dim func-tion in the door and rearview mirrors willbe reduced.
