Lights and VisibilityLightsSwitching lights on and off
Switching on side lights– Turn the light switch into position
.
Switching on the low beam and main beam– Turn the light switch into position
.
– Push the main beam lever slightly forward in the spring-tensioned position in order to switch on the main beam page 59, fig. 43.
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 automatica lly and only the side lights come on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in fig. 37 . 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 lenses 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 lightsSwitching on daylight driving lights– Switch on the ignition without turning the light switch out of the position 0.

The interior lighting goes off after about 10 minutes when a door has been left open in
order to avoid discharging the battery of the vehicle.
If the switch is in the position
(permanent lights), the interior lighting goes off at the
latest after 10 minutes in order to avoid discharging the battery of the vehicle.
Two diffuse lights* are integrated in the in terior lighting, which illuminates the shift
