Lights
Note
●
If the turn signal lever is l
eft on after the
key has been taken out of the ignition lock,
an acoustic signal sounds when the driver
door is opened. This is intended as a re-
minder to switch off the turn signal, unless
you wish to leave the parking light on.
●
If the convenience turn signals are oper-
ating (three flashes) and the other conven-
ience turn signals are switched on, the ac-
tive part stops flashing and only flashes
once in the new part selected.
●
The turn signal only works when the igni-
tion is switched on. The hazard warning
lights also work when the ignition is switch-
ed off.
●
If a trailer turn signal malfunctions, the
control lamp will stop flashing (trailer turn
signals) and the vehicle turn signal will
flash at double speed.
●
The main beam headlights can only be
switched on if the dipped beam headlights
are already on.
●
In cold or damp weather conditions, the
headlights, tail lights and turn signals may
mist up inside temporarily. This is normal
and in no way effects the useful life of the
vehicle lighting system.
●
The parking light does not activate auto-
matically if the left- or right-hand turn sig-
nal is left on and the ignition is disconnec-
ted.
Main beam assist (Light Assist)*
The main beam assist acts within the limits of
the system and depending on environmental
and traffic conditions. Once s
witched on, the
system is activated as of a speed of about 60
km/h (37 mph) and is deactivated below
about 30 km/h (18 mph)

.
When the system is activated and the cam-
era det
ects other vehicles that may be daz-
zled, the main beam is automatically switch-
ed off. Otherwise, the main beam is automati-
cally switched on.
The main beam assist generally detects illu-
minated areas and deactivates the main
beam when passing through a town, for ex-
ample.

On tight bends and steep slopes (bumps)
and when oncoming vehicles are partially
obscured.

When the drivers of other oncoming vehi-
cles (such as a truck) can see over a guard
rail in the centre of the road.
