unintentionally.
If the vehicle is not locked from the outside when the ignition is switched off, the parking lights will
stay on for about 10 minutes before automatically turning off. This helps to prevent unnecessary drain
on the vehicle battery.
Automatic headlights( )
Your vehicle may be equipped with automatic headlights( ), which are a convenience feature
only and cannot always recognize all lighting and driving situations.
If the light switch is in the position, both vehicle lighting and instrument and switch lighting are
automatically switched on and off in the following situations:
Automatic reactivation: If the low-light sensor registers darkness, for example, when driving
through a tunnel or at dusk OR when the rain sensor recognizes rain and switches the windshield
wipers on.
Automatic deactivation: If sufficient brightness is registered OR the windshield wipers have not
moved for several minutes.
You can adjust the level of darkness the vehicle must register before automatically switching on the
headlights in the Vehicle settings menu in the Infotainment system ⇒Infotainment system operation
and displays . You can also turn the automatic activation of the headlights with the rain sensors on
and off via this menu.
Cornering lights
Your vehicle may have cornering lights, which are either integrated into the headlights or the fog lights
under the front bumper. At speeds below about 25mph (40km/h), the light on one side of the vehicle
will come on automatically when you turn a corner. If you turn to the right, the right cornering light
comes on; turn left and the left cornering light comes on. The light dims and goes out when the steer‐
ing wheel is straightened out again.
When you move the selector lever to Reverse (R), the cornering lights on both sides of the vehicle
may come on so that you can see the area around the vehicle better when backing up.
The cornering lights work only when the headlights are on. If you are using automatic headlights
(headlight switch in the position ⇒Fig.90 ), they work only when the headlights have been auto‐
matically switched on. The cornering lights do not come on when the headlight switch is in the posi‐
tion or when the fog lights themselves have been switched on ⇒Switching lights on and off .
