only the side lights come on. On models fitted with
right-hand steering* the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in ⇒fig. 34 . The symbols which mark the switch positions are
identical, however.
In certain countries, the low beam is on a reduced brightness as well as the side
lights, when the ignition is switched on.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not
bright enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by
other oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it
is dark or if visibility is reduced.
Note
•An audible warning will sound if you withdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.
•The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the
driver's door is closed (ignition off). The vehicle can be parked with the side lights
on.
•If you park the car for a lengthy period, we recommend switching off all lights,
or leaving only the side lights switched on.
•The switching on of the described lights should only be undertaken in accord-
ance with the legal requirements.
•In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headligh ts can be misted
up from inside.
−The temperature difference between interior and external area of the head-
light lenses is decisive.
− When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free
from mist after a short period. The headli ght lenses can possibly mist up at the
border areas.
− It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights.
