In the following situations, a warning chime will sound if you take the key out of the ignition and open the driver door. This is to remind you that lights are still on.
x If the parking lights are switched on ⇒ Switching lights on and off.
x Light switch in position .
WARNING
Daytime running lights and parking lights are not bright enough to let you see ahead or be seen by others when it is dark.
x Always switch on the low beam headlights at dusk or when it is dark and whenever the weather is bad or visibility is poor.
x Never use the daytime running lights to see where you are going. They are not bright enough and will not let you see far enough ahead for safety, especially at dusk or when it is dark. Always switch on the low beam headlights at dusk or when it is dark.
x The taillights do not come on with the daytime running lights. Unless the taillights are on, a vehicle cannot be seen by others in bad weather, at dusk, or when it is dark.
x Even if automatic headlight control is switched on, the low beam headlights may still not come on by themselves in fog or heavy rain. You have to switch on the low beam headlights manually.
In cool or humid weather, the insides of the headlights, the taillights, and turn signals can temporarily fog up. This is normal and does not affect the service life of the vehicle's lighting system.
Lights and vision features

Function Action
Switching the DRL back on: – Release the parking brake. – OR: Turn the light switch to the  position.
Static cornering lights
Your vehicle may have fog lights under the front bumper, which on some models are also static cornering lights. On some models the static cornering lights may be integrated in the headlights. At speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h), the light on one side of the vehicle will come on when you turn a corner. If you turn to the right, the right fog light comes on; turn left and the left fog light comes on. The light dims and goes out when the steering wheel is straightened out again.
When you move the selector lever to Reverse (R), the static cornering lights on both sides of the vehicle may come on so that you can see the area around the vehicle better when backing up.
The static cornering lights work only when the headlights are on. If you are using automatic headlight
control (headlight switch in the !54/ position) ⇒ fig. 87, they work only when the headlights have been automatically switched on. The static cornering lights do not come on when the headlight switch is in
the / position or when the fog lights themselves have been switched on ⇒ Switching lights on and off.
Automatic headlight control !54/
Automatic headlight control is a convenience feature only and cannot always recognize all driving situations.
If the light switch is in the !54/ position, the outside vehicle lighting and the instrument lighting are
automatically switched on at dusk/nightfall and off in normal daylight in the following situations ⇒ :

Automatic activation: Automatic deactivation/change to daytime running lights:
If the low-light sensor registers darkness, for example when driving through a tunnel. If sufficient brightness is registered.
If you drive faster than about 87 mph (140 km/h) for several seconds. If you drive slower than about 40 mph (65 km/h) for several seconds.
If the rain sensor recognizes heavy rain and switches the windshield wipers on. If the windshield wipers have not moved for several minutes.
Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
The Adaptive Front Lighting System works only with the low beams switched on and only at speeds above about 6 mph (10 km/h). The swivel-mounted lamps automatically improve road illumination during cornering.

Automatic air recirculation.
The air recirculation mode helps prevent outside air from entering the vehicle interior.
In very hot or cold outside temperatures, temporarily switch to manual air recirculation in order to cool or heat the vehicle interior faster.
For safety reasons, air recirculation is switched off if you push the  button ⇒ .
Switching air recirculation on and off manually
Switching on: Press the 3 button repeatedly until the indicator light in the button comes on.
Switching off: Press the 3 button repeatedly until the indicator light in the button goes out.
Switching air recirculation on and off automatically
x Press the CLIMATE Infotainment button.
x Tap the Extras function key.
x Switch automatic air recirculation on or off by tapping the Automatic air recirculation function key.
If the check box in the function key is checked =, automatic air recirculation is switched on.
What automatic air recirculation does
In automatic air recirculation mode, fresh air will enter the passenger compartment. If the system detects an increased concentration of pollutants in the outside air, it automatically switches to air recirculation. As soon as the pollutant level is back in the normal range, air recirculation is switched off.
Unpleasant odors cannot be detected by the system.
To keep the windows from fogging up, automatic air recirculation is not switched on automatically in certain circumstances.
WARNING
Stale air causes driver fatigue and reduces driver alertness, which can cause accidents, collisions and serious personal injury.
x Never use air recirculation mode over an extended period of time, since no fresh air will enter the passenger compartment.
x When the air conditioner is off and recirculation mode is on, condensation can quickly form on the windows and greatly reduce visibility.
x Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not needed.
NOTICE
Do not smoke when air recirculation is switched on. Smoke drawn into the ventilation system can leave residue on the evaporator and on the dust and pollen active carbon filter, resulting in permanent odors whenever the air conditioner is switched on.
When backing up and while the automatic wiper/washer is operating, air recirculation is briefly activated to avoid unpleasant odors in the passenger compartment. This feature only works if
automatic air recirculation is enabled ⇒ Switching air recirculation on and off automatically.
