Parking lamps
With the switch in this position,
the front, rear and side vehicle
lighting comes on. You can use
the parking lamps for parking. Refer to
page 81 for one-sided lighting as an
additional possibility for parking.
Low beams
When you switch the ignition off
with the low-beam headlamps
on, only the parking lamps will
remain on.
"Follow me home":
When you activate the headlamp
flasher after parking the vehicle and
switching off the lamps, the low beams
will come on for a brief period. You can
also have this function deactivated.<
LIGHTS ON warning
Whenever you open the driver's door,
after having turned the ignition key to
position 0, you will hear an acoustic
signal for a few seconds to remind you
that the lamps have not been switched
off.
Daytime driving lamps*
The headlamps are automatically
switched on for daytime driving at
ignition key position 2.
Automatic headlamp control*
When the switch is in this posi-
tion the system automatically
responds to changes in ambient
light (in tunnels, at dusk, etc.) as well as
rain and snow by switching the low
beams on or off.<
The headlamps and other external
lamps remain on when you switch
on the fog lamps manually while the
headlamps are on following automatic
activation.<
Automatic headlamp control
cannot serve as a substitute for
your personal judgement in determining
when the lamps should be switched on.
The sensors are not able to detect fog,
for example. When these kinds of low-
visibility situations arise you should
switch on the lamps manually to ensure
continued safety.<
You can have the sensitivity of
your vehicle's automatic head-
lamp control adjusted.<
