Lights and visibility
the rear light on the corresponding side of
the vehicle stay lit. The parking lights will on-
ly work with the ignition off.
Daytime driving light

dents by increasing the visibility of the vehi-
cle. These are independent lights which are
built into the headlights and which come on
each time the ignition is turned on if the light
switch is in position or
0
.
When the light
switch is in position , a
photo sensor automatically turns the instru-
ment and switch lighting on and off.

Adaptive headlights (AFS)
The adaptive headlights only operate when
the dipped beam is on and at speeds of over
10 km/h (6 mph). On bends, the adaptive
headlights automatically improve lighting on
the road ahead.
The adaptive headlights can be switched on
and off from the infotainment system.
Static turning lights
When turning slowly to change direction or
going round a tight bend, the static cornering
lights automatically come on. The static cor-
nering lights only work at speeds of less than
40 km/h (25 mph).
The static cornering lights may be incorpora-
ted into the fog lights or the front headlights,
depending upon the equipment.

only switches on the dipped beam when
there are no changes in brightness, and not,
for example when it is foggy.

daytime driving light. A vehicle which does
not have the rear lights on may not be visible
to other drivers in the darkness, if it is rain-

sensor located on the inside of the wind-
screen, above the interior rear vision mirror.
The automatic headlight adjustment auto-
matically switches on the lights depending
on the vehicles travelling in front and in the
opposite direction, and on other environmen-
