Switching lights on and off
Switching on side lights
– Turn the light switch into position 0.
Switching on the low beam and main beam
– Turn the light switch into position
.
– Press the main beam lever forward in order to switch on the
main beam ⇒ page 68, fig. 47.
Switching off all lights
– Turn the light switch into position.
Low beam comes on only if the ignition is switched on. After switching off
the ignition, the low beam is switched off automatically and only the side
lights come on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches
differs from that shown in ⇒ fig. 41. The symbols which mark the switch
positions are identical, however.
In certain countries, the low beam is on a reduced brightness as well as
the side lights, when the ignition is switched on.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are
not bright enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or
to be seen by other oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on
the low beam when it is dark or if visibilty is poor.
Note
• An audible warning will sound if you withdraw the ignition key and open
the driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.
• The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when
the driver's door is closed (ignition off). The vehicle can be parked with the
side lights on.
• If you park the car for a lengthy period, we recommend switching off
all lights, or leaving only the side lights switched on.
