You should then take particular care when closing the windows! You may
otherwise suffer severe injuries as a re sult of getting an arm, for example,
jammed in the window!
Note

After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows for a
further 10 minutes. The automatic closing and opening functions will not operate
during this time. The power windows are switched off completely once you open the
driver or front passenger door.
Force limiter of the power windowsThe electrically operated power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces the
risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
If there is an obstacle, the closing proces s is stopped and the window goes down by
several centimeters.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 seconds, the
closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down by several
centimeters.
You must try to close the window once ag ain within 10 seconds after the window has
gone down twice, even if the obstacle wa s not yet removed, the closing process is
stopped. During this time it is not possible to automatically close the window. The
force limiter is still switched on.
The force limiter is only switched off, if you attempt to close the window within the next
10 seconds - the window closes now with full strength!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, th e force limiter is switched on again.

– 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.

If the light comes on automatically, the side lights and low beam as well as licence plate
light light up at the same time.
If the automatic light control is switched on, the light is regulated with the light sensor
in the rear mirror holder. If the light intensity drops below the set value, e.g when
driving during the day into a tunnel, the lo w beam and the side lights as well as the
licence plate light come on automatically. If the light intensity increases again, the
lights switch off automatically.
Motorway lights
If the automatic light control has been swit ched on and the vehicle speed is over 140

function or put it out of operation.

The same principles as for using the automa tic light control also apply to the light

Cornering lights*The cornering lights are used to illuminate the curves by means of the cone of light
swiveling together with the front headlight with Xenon lights*. This function is active
when the speed of the car increases to more than 10km/h.
The swiveling function of the headlights ca n be switched off / on via the menu point
Assistants in the main menu of the information display* page 24.
WARNING
If the cornering ligh ts are defective, the headlights are automatically lowered to
the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming traffic.
Thus the illuminated length of the road is shortened. Drive carefully and have
the car inspected immediatel y by a specialist garage.Coming Home FunctionThe function makes it possible to switch on the lights in the darkness for a short time
