Operation
WARNING
Improper or lack of use of the turn signals,
or for
getting to deactivate them can con-
fuse other road users. This could result in a
serious accident.
Always give warning when you are going
to change lane, overtake or when turning,
activating the turn signal in good time.
As soon as you have finished changing
lane, overtaking or turning, switch the turn
signal off.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the headlights may cause
accidents and serious injury, as the main
beam may distract or dazzl
e other drivers.
Note
When you turn the ignition off without
having t
urned the turn signals off, an
acoustic signal sounds while the driver
door is open. This is intended as a reminder
to switch off the turn signal, unless you wish
to leave the parking light on.
If the convenience turn signals are oper-
ating (three flashes) and the other conven-
ience turn signals are switched on, the ac-
tive part stops flashing and only flashes
once in the new part selected.
The turn signal only works when the igni-
tion is switched on. The hazard warning
lights also work when the ignition is switch-
ed off.
If a tr
ailer turn signal malfunctions, the
control lamp will stop flashing (trailer turn
signals) and the vehicle turn signal will
flash at double speed.
The main beam headlights can only be
switched on if the dipped beam headlights
are already on.
In cold or damp weather conditions, the
headlights, tail lights and turn signals may
mist up inside temporarily. This is normal
and in no way effects the useful life of the
vehicle lighting system.
The parking light does not activate auto-
matically if the left- or right-hand turn sig-
nal is left on and the ignition is disconnec-
ted.
Main beam assist (Light Assist)*
The main beam assist automatically prevents
gl
ar
e from vehicles moving in the opposite di-
rection or ahead in the same direction. In ad-
dition, the main beam assist detects illumina-
ted areas and disconnects the main beam
headlight when passing, e.g. by populated
areas.
Within its limitations, the assist system auto-
matically connects or disconnects the main
beam headlight depending on the environ-
mental and traffic conditions, as well as the
speed
.
