instrument panel.
Do not place anything on the instrument panel, and/or do not

When the headlights come on, the lights automatically turn off
about 30 seconds after any of the doors is opened and closed
with the engine switch off.* To turn them on again, select the
engine switch in “IG−ON” mode, or turn the headlight switch off
and then twist the knob until the first or second clickstop.
If you are going to park for over one week, make sure the
headlight switch is off.

the trunk closed, pushing the ”LOCK” button on the electronic
key turns off the headlights.

The headlights turn on at reduced intensity when the parking
brake is released with the engine started, even with the light
switch in the ”OFF” position. They will not go off until the engine
switch is turned off.
To turn on the other exterior lights and instrument panel lights,
twist the knob to the first clickstop.
Twist the knob to the second clickstop to turn on the headlights
to full intensity for driving at night.
When setting the knob to the third clickstop (”AUTO”), the
headlights will automatically adjust to full intensity and/or turn
on the other lights depending on the darkness of the
surroundings. Likewise, as the surroundings become brighter,
the headlights will turn to reduced intensity, ultimately turning
off the other lights.

To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the lights on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.
