Note
Headlights fitted with Xenon bulbs* adapt automatically to the load and
driving state of the vehicle (e.g. accelerating, braking) when the ignition is
switched on and when driving.
Switch for hazard warning lights
– Press switch ⇒ fig. 46 to switch the hazard warning light
system on or off.
All the turn signal lights on the vehicle flash at the same time when the
hazard warning light system is switched on. The indicator light for the turn
signals and the indicator light in the switch also flash at the same time.
You can also switch on the hazard warning light system if the ignition is
switched off. The hazard warning light system is switched on automatically if an airbag
is deployed in the event of an accident.
Please comply with any legal requirements when using the hazard
warning light system.
Note
Switch on the hazard warning light system if, for example:
•you encounter traffic congestion,
•your vehicle breaks down or an emergency situation occurs.
Turn signal and main beam lever
The parking lights and headlight flasher are also switched
on and off using the turn signal and main beam lever.

The turn signal and main beam lever perform the following func-
tions:
Right
and left turn signal light
– Push the lever upwards or downwards ⇒page 68, fig. 47 .
– If you only wish to flash three times* (the so-called conven- ience turn signal), push the lever briefly up to the upper or
lower pressure point and release it.
– Turn signal for changing lanes, in order to only flash briefly - move the lever up or down to the pressure point and hold it in
this position.
Main beam
– Switch on the low beam.
– Push the lever forwards.
– Pull the lever back into the initial position in order to switch the main beam off again.
Headlight flasher
– Pull on the lever of the steering wheel (sprung position) - the main beam and warning light in the instrument cluster come
on.
Parking light
– Switch off the ignition.
– Push the lever up or down - the right-hand or left-hand parking light is switched on.
Information concerning the function of the lights.
•The turn signal system only operates when the ignition is switched
on. The corresponding indicator light or in the instrument cluster also
flashes.
•The turn signal is automatically cancelled after negotiating a curve.
•The indicator light flashes at twice its normal rate if a bulb of the turn
signal light fails.
•The side light and rear light on the appropriate side of the vehicle are
switched on when the parking light is selected. The parking light function
only operates if the ignition is switched off.
•An acoustic warning signal will sound when the driver's door is opened
if the lever is not in the middle position after removing the ignition key. The
acoustic warning signal will stop just as soon as the driver's door is closed.
Caution
Use main beam or the headlight flasher only if this does not risk dazzling
other road users.
Note
•Use only in accordance with the legal requirements the described
lighting and signal systems.

WARNING
•Bulbs H7 and H1 are pressurised and may burst when changing
the bulb - risk of injury!
•It is recommended to wear gloves and eye protection when
changing a light bulb.
•Gas discharge bulbs* (xenon bulbs) operate with a high voltage,
professional knowledge is required - danger to life!
Caution
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
serviette or something similar.
Note
This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is
assumed that no major complications will arise. Other light bulbs should
be changed by your specialist garage.
