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.

Dynamic headlight range control
The control is not mounted in vehicles with
dynamic headlight range control. The head-
light range is automatically adjusted accord-
ing 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.
●
Adjust the light beam to the vehicle load
status so that it does not blind other driv-
ers.
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 halogen and full-
LED headlights allows the specific “tourist
light” values to be met without the need for
stickers or changes in the settings.
