7. Always take the vehicle key with you when
you l
eav
e the vehicle.
All turn signals flash simultaneously when the
hazard warning lights are switched on. The
two turn signal turn signal lamps and the
turn signal lamp in the switch will flash at
the same time. The simultaneous hazard
warning lights also work when the ignition is
switched off.
Emergency braking warning
If the vehicle brakes suddenly and continu-
ously at a speed of more than 80 km/h (50
mph), the brake light flashes several times per
second to warn the vehicles driving behind. If
you continue braking, the hazard warning
lights will come on automatically when the
vehicle comes to a standstill. They switch off
automatically when the vehicle starts to
move again.
WARNING
●
The risk of an accident increases if your
v
ehicle breaks down. Always use the haz-
ard warning lights and a warning triangle to
draw the attention of other road users to
your stationary vehicle.
●
Due to the high temperatures that the
catalytic converter can reach, never park
in an area where the catalytic converter
could come into contact with highly inflam-
mable materials, for example dry grass or
spilt petrol. This could start a fire.
Note
●
The 12-volt v
ehicle battery will run down
if the hazard warning lights are left on for a
long time, even if the ignition is switched
off.
●
The use of the hazard warning lights de-
scribed here is subject to the relevant stat-
utory requirements.
Dynamic headlight range control
3 Valid f
or vehicles fitted with a High lights
The headlight range is automatically adjus-
ted according to the vehicle load status when
they are switched on.
WARNING
Heavy objects in the vehicle may mean
that the headlights dazzle and distr
act oth-
er drivers. This could result in a serious ac-
cident.
Driving abroad
The light beam of the dipped beam lights is
asymmetric: the side of the r
oad on which
you ar
e driving is lit more intensely.
When a car that is manufactured in a country
that drives on the right travels to a country
that drives on the left (or vice versa), it is nor-
mally necessary to cover part of the head-
light bulbs with stickers or to change the ad-
justment of the headlights to avoid dazzling
other drivers.
In such cases, the regulations specify certain
light values that must be complied with for
designated points of the light distribution. This
is known as “Tourist light”.
The light distribution of the headlights allows
the specific “tourist light” values to be met
without the need for stickers or changes be-
ing made to the settings.
Note
“Tourist light” is only allowed temporarily. If
you are pl
anning a long stay in a country
that drives on the other side, you should
take the vehicle to an Authorised Technical
Service to change the headlights.
