Instrument cluster brightness
When the lights are on, the brightness of the instrument cluster lighting is adjusted by turning the thumbwheel (1).
In some vehicles with daytime running lights (DRL), the instrument cluster lighting switches on automatically when it is dark outside or when driving through tunnels, for example. You will need to switch the headlights on manually when this happens, so that the vehicle's taillights will turn on

Dynamic headlight range adjustment
In some vehicles with HID (Xenon) headlights, the headlight range is automatically adjusted to the
vehicle loading condition once the low beams are switched on ⇒ .
WARNING
Headlights that are aimed too high because of the way the vehicle is loaded can blind and distract other drivers. This can lead to a crash and serious personal injuries.
x Always make sure the headlights are adjusted to loading conditions so that they do not blind others.
WARNING
If dynamic headlight range adjustment does not work properly or at all, the headlights could blind and distract other drivers. This can lead to a crash and serious personal injuries.
