– Press the main beam lever forward in order to switch on the main beam
⇒ page 59, fig. 50
.
Switching off lights (except daylight driving lights)– Turn the light switch into position°0. Low beam comes on only if the ignition is
switched on. After switching off the ignition,
the low beam is switched off automatically and only the side lights come on. For vehi- cles which are equipped with the function Coming/Leaving-Home*
⇒page 55, the
side lights also go out. On models fitted with
right-hand steering
the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in
⇒fig. 44
. The symbols which mark the switch positions are iden-
tical, however.
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 poor.
Note
•
An audible warning will sound if you wi
thdraw 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 the car is parked for a lengthy period,
we recommend switching off all lights, or
leaving only the parking lights switched on.•
The switching on of the described lights
should only be undertaken in accordance
with the legal requirements.•
If a fault occurs in the light switch
, the low beam comes on automatically.
•
In the event of cool or humid weather cond
itions, the headlights can be misted up
from inside.
− The temperature difference between interior and external area of the headlight lenses is decisive. − When the driving lights are switched on,
the light outlet surfaces are free from
mist after a short period. The headlight lens
es can possibly mist up at the border
areas. − It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights. − This mist has no influence on th
e life of the lighting system.
Daylight driving lightsIn some countries, the na
tional legal provisions require that the vehicles are equipped
with the function daylight driving lights.
